Media Reviews
`Aisha is Ahfaf Soueif's first book and to say it is promising is to understate the case: it is highly accomplished. Aisha is further evidence of the fact that some of the most confident British fiction is being written by people of mixed cultures' * Victoria Glendinning, Sunday Times *
`There is lively, lucid writing here, vivid description and sharply observed dialogue' * Isabel Raphael, The Times *
`A highly unusual and richly impressive first novel ... The author weaves a circle round us thrice with the touch of a born sorceress. One awaits her next with great expectations' * Christopher Wordsworth, Guardian *
`The writing is deft and pattient, the understanding of this trickiest of narrative forms is sure and rarely off-target' * Edward Said, London Review of Books *
