Review:

"Nuruddin Farah's calm, profoundly humane new noel, KNOTS...presents one very , tentative hopeful answer to the question left hanging at the end of BLACK HAWK DOWN: What future is there for a country that has spun so wildly out of control?"

Jennifer Reese, Entertainment Weekly, 02/02/2007

Review:

"KNOTS is a powerful dissection of a fragmented society....KNOTS combines faith in a beleaguered people with grave analysis of an imploded society."

Maya Jaggi, Bookforum, 02/01/2007

Book Description: Penguin Books, United States, 2008. Paperback. Book Condition: New. Reprint. 203 x 140 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. From the internationally revered author of Links comes "a beautiful, hopeful novel about one woman's return to war-ravaged Mogadishu" ("Time") Called "one of the most sophisticated voices in modern fiction" ("The New York Review of Books"), Nuruddin Farah is widely recognized as a literary genius. He proves it yet again with "Knots," the story of a woman who returns to her roots and discovers much more than herself. Born in Somalia but raised in North America, Cambara flees a failed marriage by traveling to Mogadishu. And there, amid the devastation and brutality, she finds that her most unlikely ambitions begin to seem possible. Conjuring the unforgettable extremes of a fractured Muslim culture and the wayward Somali state through the eyes of a strong, compelling heroine, "Knots" is another Farah masterwork.
