Reviews

This beautiful, powerful, and terrifying novel should be read by anyone trying to understand the crisis in the Middle East today. -- Library Journal A Balzacian tale full of romance and murder that ranges from Afghanistan to Yemen to Syria. -- The New York Times That Khalifa has chosen to profile fanaticism from a feminine perspective, rather than the more predictable 'male martyr', is this book's great innovation. It is a courageous endeavour. -- The Independent (UK) Khaled Khalifa's In Praise of Hatred ...is powerfully seductive in its exploration of hate. -- Egypt Independent Khalifa has now produced a genuinely important novel, even a great novel, the kind of novel that makes us see in patient and exacting detail what the world is really like. -- The New Republic
