PRAISE FOR BROKEN VERSES
"[Shamsie] packs her story with the playful evidence of her high-flying intelligence." —San Francisco Chronicle
"This 30-year-old has been described as a young Anita Desai, and her third book, about childhood, love, life and high society in Karachi during the turbulent 1990s, is worth all the prepublication fuss." —Harper's Bazaar
"A fresh literary look at modern-day Pakistan...[a] beautiful meditation on love, forgiveness, and letting go." —Entertainment Weekly
"Richly woven...There is a succulent pleasure to the narrative that draws you happily to its end." —The Guardian
"This is also a story about parents and children, about Aasmaani trying to make peace with her strange childhood. It is a story about love, as Aasmaani and Shehnaz's son find themselves drawn to each other. And there's politics, to boot. The political backdrop-criticism of America, anxiety about the role of fundamentalists in Pakistani government-remains just that, a backdrop; it never overshadows, but rather somehow expands, the story...A thoroughly captivating tale." —Kirkus Reviews (starred)
"Intriguing, shimmeringly intelligent...Shamsie's crowning triumph." —Publishers Weekly
