“In a comedy of manners that would make Jane Austen proud, a retired general and a widowed Pakistani women meet and court in an out-of-the-way English village. There is wit here, and cleverness, and a host of clear-eyed, stiff-lipped, curmudgeonly joys. Fans of British humor and storytelling must acquire this wryly funny love story.” — Mark Bradshaw, Watermark Books, Wichita, KS

“This stunning and compassionate novel brings faraway places near and makes incredible experiences real. From London to Nigeria, you’ll grip the book tightly in your hands and hold its characters close to your heart: a young girl, a tormented idealistic journalist, and a fearless mother whose pierce love is a wonder.” — Mark David Bradshaw, Watermark Books, Wichita, KS
