"A moving, splendidly realised story of courage and grit in modern-day Kabul. I was won over by Murari's uplifting and vastly entertaining sporting tale, which reaffirms the power of friendship, fellowship, and love in the face of all forms of tyranny." Vikas Swarup, author of Slumdog Millionaire. "A beautifully written novel that takes the reader through the shrouded world of one woman whose only crime is being a woman... I loved this riveting book." Deborah Rodriguez, author of Kabul Beauty School.Cinematic descriptions of war, and the joy of cricket, score highly - Observer An engaging read and a real page turner - Red Sometimes a book comes along that makes you think it's going to cause quite a stir and could well be set to be one that everyone's talking about in a few month's time. That was my impression when I read The Taliban Cricket Club. - CuriousBookFans.co.uk This book is funny, moving, harrowing, romantic and readable. - TheBookBag.co.uk A strange and alluring combination of cricket, the Taliban, and a lively, clever heroine makes this novel unputdownable. - New Books A wonderful and heart-warming story of love, family and cricket. - Bookgeeks.co.uk A gripping, emotional read. - Novelicious.com
