Review:
"Wincingly funny...a tragicomedy of manners and errors. An ambitious book showing Asia through British and American eyes – compassionate, but never sloppy, it notes the flaws and frailties of East and West without mockery" (Daily Mail)
"Entertaining, subtle and intelligent" (Sunday Telegraph)
"Thank God for Deborah Moggach" (Independent)
"No neater entertainment has emerged from the debris of our past on the sub-continent" (Guardian)
"A piece of technical wizardry" (Daily Telegraph)
