'This book is absorbing read, the study of a mother's relationship with her daughter, as well as an examination of how aid projects function in a war zone. And of course it's an exotic love story' Spectator
This book is absorbing read, the study of a mother's relationship with her daughter, as well as an examination of how aid projects function in a war zone. And of course it's an exotic love story (Spectator)
'McCune intereaves the story of her own upbringing in Assam and disastrous marriage with that of her magnetic and vivacious daughter, meditating poignantly on what it means for a mother to outlive her children, to bury them in the earth and walk away.'''
Daily Telegraph
