"A first novel of uncommon poise and acuity, The Shadow of the Crescent Moon is set in an old and protracted war for land and dignity. But its swift and suspenseful narrative describes a fiercely contemporary battle in the human heart: between the seductive fantasy of personal freedom and the tenacious claims of family, community and history."
The National (UK):
"Stunning... Few debut novels can adequately explore such colossal themes as betrayal and allegiance, or persuasively render fear, doubt and determination."
Radio 4 (UK):
"Incredibly ambitious, extremely powerful and moving."
Company Magazine (UK):
"Stunningly worded."
Mail on Sunday (UK):
"Concise, elegant. Bhutto is a gifted and compelling writer, economically and poetically summoning up this beautiful mountainous backwater."
Sunday Express (UK):
"Powerful, compelling, moving inexorably to a devastating conclusion."
Evening Standard (UK):
"[Explores] the divisive split between those suffering from the direct consequences of war and a generation of unaware, complacent young Pakistanis."
New Statesman (UK) Books of the Year:
"It's a heart-stopping thriller, as well as an important political commentary about oppression, occupation and war. Most strikingly, though, it's a devastating love story."
Observer (UK):
"The novel is set over the course of one morning in a small town in Pakistan's tribal regions [and] follows the story of three brothers who are forced to make difficult choices. But the heart of the novel, for Bhutto, lies in the female characters."
Sunday Telegraph (UK):
"Thought-provoking. Above all, what The Shadow of the Crescent Moon captures so well is not just the trauma of war, but also the conflicts of contemporary Pakistanis, torn between remaining faithful to the legacy of previous generations, and their own dreams of choosing their own destiny."
