"Todo en este hermoso libro gira alrededor de los propietarios, sirvientes, parientes y allegados del dueño de una antigua propiedad familiar en la frontera indo-pakistaní. Así sea un político que se pone enfermo y busca a alguien que le sustituya en su labor, o una camarera que entrega sus favores sexuales para prosperar en su trabajo, se dibuja un retrato peculiar de Pakistán, lejos del exotismo y de lo políticamente correcto. Emerge una tierra que aún vive inmersa en las tradiciones feudales e intenta adaptarse como puede a los nuevos tiempos. Destaca la ironía del autor, su complicidad con quien lee y su talento para describir un mundo entero en pocas líneas."@es
"A powerful collection of linked stories of the entwined lives of masters and servants set in Pakistan. These richly textured stories reveal the complexities of Pakistani class and culture, as they describe the loves, triumphs, misunderstandings and tragedies of this diverse group of characters."
"Huit histoires pakistanaises s'entrelacent entre Lahore et Islamabad dans les années 1970. La poussière, la luxure, les doux parfums du jasmin et des mangues côtoient la lutte des classes, la pauvreté et la corruption. Les multiples personnages forment une comédie humaine autour de K.K. Harouni, vieux et digne propriétaire terrien distant, passif et négligent.--[Memento]."
