Reviews"In vibrant but understated prose, Wahab vividly portrays a misunderstood culture, as well as the tense life on military bases where everyone must wear body armor and carry a weapon. While fighting to build a bridge of understanding between her 'native and adoptive nations, ' Wahab admirably wages a more universal war--for gender equality, human rights, and peace."
--"Publisher's Weekly" (starred review)
"Extraordinary....detailed, lively...A carefully wrought work that allows a rare look inside Pashtun culture."
--"Kirkus Reviews
