'Told with vivid lyricism yet unflinching in its gaze, Abeer Hoque's memoir is the tender coming-of-age story of migration on three continents, and about the pain, rupture, and redemptive possibilities of displacement.' - Tahmima Anam, author of The Bones of Grace
'Engrossing ... Hoque's writing is an elegant melange of candor and a strange sense of calmness, which she maintains throughout ... An evocative examination of identity and what it means to be true to yourself.' - Booklist, review, 2/1/2017
'Told with vivid lyricism yet unflinching in its gaze, Abeer Hoque's memoir is the coming-of-age story of migration on three continents, and about the pain, rupture, and redemptive possibilities of displacement.'
- Tahmima Anam, author of The Bones of Grace
'I saw Abeer Y. Hoque - and bought Olive Witch - when she captivated audiences at this past year's Jaipur Literature Festival. Her work was among that which I came back to the U.S. hoping there would be a home over here for. This is a vivid, moving coming-of-age story.'
- Rick Simonson, Elliott Bay Book Company
