  • "In late 1970 a boy named Saadi is born into a large, defiantly Bengali family in eastern Pakistan. Months later the country splits in two, in what will become one of the most ferocious twentieth-century civil wars. Saadi tells the story of his childhood and of the ingenious ways his family survived the violence and conflicts: from his aunts stuffing him endlessly with sweets to stop marauding soldiers from hearing him cry, to street games based on American television shows; from the basement compartment his grandfather built to hide his treasured books, pictures, and music until after the war, to the daily gossip about each and every one of the relatives, servants, and neighbors."
  • "The story of one upper-middle-class Bengali family, told in the form of a memoir narrated by someone who lived through the brutal Pakistani civil war. It is an autobiography, a novel, and, in part, a history of one of the most ferocious of 20th-century civil wars in the formation of Bangladesh."
  • "Herinneringen die de echtgenoot van de auteur heeft aan zijn jeugd in Bangladesh vlak na de burgeroorlog van 1971."
