"Rabinyan's story is, above all, about women....The marriage stories overlap and weave together in a rich pattern that resembles a parable or family legend."

——Los Angeles Times

"Spellbinding...a literary love story of crushed dreams, part family drama, part modern-day fairy tale."

——Glamour

"A lovely story with compelling characters showcased subtly against the realities of contemporary life in the Middle East."
