Shelley Saywell

“Achingly beautiful. Exquisite writing, a skillful structuring, the weight of sadness. laced with the lightness of a burning love and a boundless spirit. An intensely personal journey that also wends through many worlds. I knew Shelley Saywell’s book would be wonderful. This is a gift.”

Lyse Doucet, BBC’s Chief International correspondent and author of The Finest Hotel in Kabul.
