Critic reviews
"This is Kia Abdullah’s third novel, and I am continually impressed with how she deftly handles important social issues." (Belfast Telegraph)
"Brilliantly tense, this is another clever page-turner from Kia Abdullah. A nightmare scenario evolves into an engrossing human drama that I couldn’t put down. Just superb." (Louise Hare, author of This Lovely City)
"Amid the requisite revelations of resentments and secrets, Abdullah draws out the truth with compassion, charting with notable understanding the ever-changing currents in human relations." (The Times)
