Don't be put off by the vague cover blurb. This is an absolutely amazing book. The focus of the novel is the issue of refugees and some of the scenes and concepts are quite confronting, but it is a very readable book and also has quite a lot of humour and warmth. It certainly got me thinking about the issues that it raised and I can't wait to read Cleave's first novel, Incendiary, now. This book is definitely in my personal top 10. A very well written book about an important subject.

This book slowly and steadily draws you into the story so that you are caught up in the lives of the central characters. The author has created vastly different yet believable characters who have realistic flaws and, in doing so, allows the reader to identify with and understand their dilemmas, tragedies and hopes. I truely recommend this book to every reader who likes fiction books . A beautiful novel that will leave you with tears in your eyes.

This book was easy to read. You end up asking yourself, what you would do or give up to save another human being from suffering.

Wow! I loved this book. It was a cheeky and vibrant romp through the western world in the boots of the third. This is the book that I wish I could have written. It portrays the human condition with both authenticity and compassion. It did not just move me to tears, it bulldozed me to the realisation of human suffering, but somehow made me laugh along the way. Brilliant.

I found this book quite disturbing, depressing, and you can hardly 'romp' through a book with quite so much savage violence as this one. Romp is a word for chick lit. It does have some lighter moments and inspiring episodes, so it's not all doom and gloom. Neither does it offer the wry humour of 'A Short History of Tractors in Ukranian' or 'Salmon Fishing in the Yemen'. The book's blurb doesn't want to give away any of the plot, so neither shall I, but I didn't want to pass it on to a friend to read either. Make sure you have a 'light' read to follow on from this one, you'll need it.

This is a story that could be happening right next door to where you live and you wouldn't even know it. Fantastic story that could easily be true. The blurb on the back cover was intriguing enough to make me want to buy this book immediately and it doesn't let you down. Well written and contemporary for our times.

I absolutely loved this novel! When I started reading this book, I had no idea where the story was headed. It portrays beautifully a courage of two women who hardly know each other. When certain circumstances bring them together they become friends for life. This astonishing novel shows how lives can be changed so dramatically when friends believe in you more than you believe in yourself and are able to provide encouragement and trust when the chips are down. A beautiful reading!
