[sirius sol · Rating 4 out of 5]

While it is difficult to gauge Nezammaffi's political views, especially in 白い紙、 her prose is so elegant and contained, avoiding any pitfalls of typical torture p*rn, in the vein of A Thousand Splendid Suns. It is one of the rare novels written in our century that feels like a thoughtful companion, a true work of literature.
