Description
Book SynopsisFollowing the journey of a British Muslim and his fall into Islamist radicalization.
Trade ReviewGenuine, poignant . . . A moral work of real intelligence and power. -- John Burnside * The Times *
What Sahota creates is not an exploration of the psyche of a suicide bomber, but an exploration of a man. * Yorkshire Post *
Startling. This book successfully humanizes one of the great demons of contemporary society, and for that, Sunjeev Sahota should be given a high five off the Queen or something. * Dazed and Confused, ‘Book of the Month’ *
Excruciatingly well-written. * Guardian *
Imtiaz’s journey to Pakistan, and his sense of belonging, gives the novel much of its eloquence. Great literary promise. * Independent *
The book’s great force lies in its voice: that of a young man straining to express instincts, fears and emotional conflicts, lending his writing a distinctive vibrancy. * Observer *
An acute debut. What is most chilling, and most successful, is that it all seems so familiar, so close and so easy. * Sunday Times *
