Monica Ali's writing is natural, like a bird singing rather than with some great artistic deliberation, but it is a enjoyable and moving book nevertheless. The length might discourage but it can be read leisurely and as it is not very demanding read, it doesn't take that long.
You might also appreciate [[Kintu by Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi]].

|comment= Thanks for this review. I became impatient with the book and never did finish it. The letters from sister Hasina were too long and hard to stick with . Nevertheless , there were some lovely descriptions and beautiful writing.

|comment=I loved this book. I listened to it as an Audible book read by Meera Syal who brought a heart breaking heartbreaking intensity to the story and vividly brought to life the characters and particularly what happens to poor Hasena. It was a real insight into Bangladeshi culture of which previously I knew nothing.
