Críticas
Exquisitely told [A House in the Sky"] is much more than a gonzo adventure tale gone awry it s a young woman s harrowing coming-of-age story and an extraordinary narrative of forgiveness and spiritual triumph .There s no self-pity or grandiosity in these pages. In the cleanest prose, she and Corbett allow events both horrific and absurd to unfold on their own. Lindhout s resilience transforms the story from a litany of horrors into a humbling encounter with the human spirit. --Eliza Griswold "The New York Times Book Review "
"An amazing, mesmerizing tale that shows international terrorism at a shockingly personal level. Lindhout's strength of character shines through on every page."--Jane Mayer, author of The Dark Side
"If you have ever wondered how extraordinary people overcome physical and mental anguish, you must read A House in the Sky". Amanda Lindhout's riveting account of strength and survival will inspire and leave a lasting impression."--Jared Cohen, author of The New Digital Age

Lindhout manages to tell her story and to transcend it. Her account stands as a nonfiction companion to Emma Donoghue s shattering, haunting novel about captivity, "Room". --Emily Bazelon "Slate ""
A poetic, profound, and thrilling exploration of one woman s misadventure set against the backdrop of global terrorism Elegant and evocative. --Rebecca Johnson "Vogue ""
A great book The lesson [Amanda Lindhout] taught me and others who know this remarkable young woman is: What matters is not how you got there, but what you do once you ve arrived. --Robert Draper "ELLE ""
[A] harrowing, beautifully written memoir .The wide-eyed optimism and unflappable determination that led [Amanda Lindhout] to danger also kept her alive A brave, compassionate and inspiring triumph. --Korina Lopez "USA Today (4-star review) ""
A searingly unsentimental account Ultimately, it is compassion for her naive younger self, for her kidnappers that becomes the key to [Lindhout s] survival. --Holly Morris "O, the Oprah magazine ""
Keenly observed and sprinkled with arresting details, "A House in the Sky" is more than one woman s heartbreaking tale of captivity. The book sheds light on a conflict area not often painted with nuance. It dares to explore the outer reaches of human empathy. A stunning, haunting, and redemptive read, Lindhout s story is one that stays with you long after the book has been closed. --Grace Bello "The Christian Science Monitor ""
