Críticas
'As these three women's stories entwine, the result is a moving and captivating tale of survival and hope in a war-torn country, and confirms Mohamed's stature as one of Britain's best young novelists' --Stylist
'A tenacious imagination and maturing talent.. A complex history is often deftly sketched' --Guardian
'Mohamed is an elegant, precise writer with an eye for telling detail and flashes of poetic insight' --Daily Mail
'Mohamed makes a political point about the sexes as she does about war and dictatorships.. the will to survive against overwhelming odds could have made for a grim or melodramatic read, but Mohamed takes her time, building slowly and almost gently a world full of contradictions -- there are moments of pleasure and joy' --Lesley McDowell
'Three women watch, and suffer, as their native Somalia descends into brutal civil war. It's 1988. The atrocities pile up, but the authorial voice remains resolutely melodic' --Vogue
'With the unadorned language of a wise, clear-eyed observer, Nadifa Mohamed has spun an unforgettable tale. The Orchard of Lost Souls recounts not just a state's descent into war, but war's most heartbreaking human toll: the death of dreams' --Taiye Selasi, author of Ghana Must Go
'Nadifa Mohamed's gripping second novel plunges the reader into late-1980s Somalia. The story's end left this reader feeling bereft and strangely optimistic, wanting more'--New Internationalist
'A poignant, and, at times, harrowing account of Somalia's descent into civil war, that brings together a refugee girl, a widow and a female soldier'--The Independent
'I was delighted to find that [The Orchard of Lost Souls] fulfils the promise of Nadifa's first novel. A strangely exciting as well as worrying novel, seeping along at a great pace, but always with a sinister, threatening atmosphere hanging over the words. The great strength of this novel is a love of country and despair at its fate' --Margaret Forster

Reseña del editor
It is 1988 and Hargeisa waits. Whispers of revolution travel on the dry winds but still the dictatorship remains secure. Soon, and through the eyes of three women, we will see Somalia fall. Nine-year-old Deqohas left the vast refugee camp she was born in, lured to the city by the promise of her first pair of shoes. Kawsar, a solitary widow, is trapped in her little house with its garden clawed from the desert, confined to her bed after a savage beating in the local police station. Filsan, a young female soldier, has moved from Mogadishu to suppress the rebellion growing in the north. And as the country is unravelled by a civil war that will shock the world, the fates of the three women are twisted irrevocably together. Intimate, frank, brimming with beauty and fierce love,The Orchard of Lost Soulsis an unforgettable account of ordinary lives lived in extraordinary times.
