"The cover of Moshtari Hilal’s book is not one that goes unnoticed on the bookshelf: 'UGLINESS' in big, bold letters. Beneath the title is Hilal’s self-portrait, embellished with drawn-on lines denoting hair...It’s the kind of provocation an artist would make, one who knows her audience intimately."

"it has quickly become one of my all-time favorite historical novels . . . What makes this tender war love story even more compelling is that it was inspired by the real experiences of shell-shocked soldiers who suffered total memory loss."

"Resonates powerfully while wars of tragic loss continue to be fought on multiple fronts, including in Europe. Daanje exhibits brilliant powers of reconstitution in her descriptions of the war’s aftermath and the blighted landscapes that it left behind."
