Review:
"Chicago Tribune"

A bold, passionate tale of fanaticism and seduction. Sensitively and vividly rendered. Exotic, mythic, a tale told by a Scheherazade.



"San Francisco Chronicle"

"Sunday's Silence" is exactly the kind of book that Americans need to be reading right now, a book in which East and West collide, not only in war but in love.



"Los Angeles Times"
