Recenzii

'In Other Rooms, Other Wonders may be fiction but it is of such an authentic stamp that it is history as well, more so by the day, and deserves to be read as such'
'An astonishing collection of tales'
'These stories are so engrossing that there is a wrench when one ends and the next must begin ... Mueenuddin's stories are intense with emotion'
'Each of the stories opens a door on to a life you had never expected, shines a light for a while and quietly closes the door again ... Mueenuddin writes with the freshness of an exile and the intimacy of an insider about Pakistani culture'
