Critical Praise

" . . . delightfully compelling."

——Booklist

" . . . [an] engaging first novel. . . . Hamilton is a natural storyteller. . . ."

——Publishers Weekly

"Former AP Middle East correspondent Hamilton writes with striking clarity, using words as carefully as the Bedouin use water to bring a disappearing world to vibrant life. Here, in a luminous debut, are the voices, real and rarely heard, of traditional Arab women."
