Media reviews

“As finely written atmospheric pieces alone the stories would be memorable... As social documents they are absorbing. The volume’s profound theme is the tension between convention and exploration, family solidarity and individualism... An admirable humane and responsible achievement.” – Hermione Lee, Observer

“One of the most brilliant and subtle writers ever to have described the meeting of eastern and western culture.” – Alison Lurie
