Press Reviews: A Singular Hostage

 

Excerpts from Press Reviews: A Beggar at the Gate

 

"Painted vividly and beautifully with deft soul strokes. When a novel can find contemporary relevance despite its historical context, it’s marked as a work of some power."

- The Big Issue, UK

"Beautifully written, this novel transports the reader back to the 19th Century, British Imperialism and the pull of two cultures in an ever-changing world."

- Lancashire Evening Post, UK

"A lucid blend of intrigue and social history, with undertones of mysticism. As enlightening read."

- Libas International, Pakistan

"A pleasure to read."

- The Friday Times, Pakistan
