Review
'Maggie McCune grips your attention immediately and you know you will go on reading it until the very last page' Yorkshire Post
'Her story will be an inspiration to other young women' Daily Mail
Her story will be an inspiration to other young women (Daily Mail)
'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
