Trade Review

"Cristina Ali Farah understands how lives are shaped simultaneously by events of great magnitude and the everyday lives of ordinary people, and together, these stories nourish her poetic intelligence and profound humanity."—Abdourahman A. Waberi, winner of Grand prix littéraire d'Afrique noire, and author of In the United States of Africa

"Fearless and highly original, Cristina Ali Farah is a superb story teller and her use and understanding of symbolism, in all its facets, is sublime. She writes with brio and brings artistry to her writing whenever she puts pen to paper. Commander of the River is one of the best novels I have read in a long while."—Nuruddin Farah, Winner of Neustadt International Prize for Literature
