"This is a novel about the Taliban years, through the portrait of two couples tearing each other apart. This book covers the universal theme of what a political situation such as this one can generate: male cowardice, female madness. It's equally despairing and magnificent."—Le Nouvel Observateur
"All the themes of oppression are celebrated: the banality of evil, mass hysteria, the power of sacrifice, death's shadow. And most of all the reign of the absurd. For Yasmina Khadra's characters are the grandchildren of Albert Camus's characters." —L'Express
"Here is an almost perfect litle book. Soft like a stone in a river, warm like a lover's blood...The intrigue is clever and the language beautiful." —Le Journal du Dimanche
"(Khadra) knows how to hold the reader spellbound from the first to the last page....Yasmina Khadra confirms that he is a great writer." —Dernières Nouvelles d'Alsace
