Tales of anguish, longing, lust and lvoe all find their way to The Stone Woman ? Ali paints a vivid picture of a fading world. - New York Times Book Review A richly woven tapestry that, even before its completion, merits comparison with Naguib Mahfouz's celebrated Cairo Trilogy. A great work in progress. - Kirkus Reviews Ali spins a web of tales that is as inventive and fantastical as the Arabian nights. - The Times ... an Eastern Magic Mountain. - London Review of Books This Chekhov-like scenario of intense emotion within a creaking social structure constructs a rich picture of history and the way we think about history. - Times Literary Supplement
