"There is a bell-like clarity to Farooqi's delineation of his characters, his slow unraveling of their motivations and desires. ... This is a quietly affecting book, with a profound understanding of tragedy; that what happens to us is as much a function of how we respond to events as the events themselves." -- The Sunday Guardian "A privileged peek into the mind of the Pahalwan and Courtesan, the subcontinent's most intriguing symbols of romance. Storytelling at its best." -- Naseeruddin Shah "This is the most poignant, the most subtle, the most moving novel I have read in the past few years from this, or any, region. A natural storyteller, Farooqi imagines a world we thought we were familiar with and then pulls the rug out from under our feet." -- The Caravan "There is a bell-like clarity to Farooqi's delineation of his characters, his slow unraveling of their motivations and desires. ...

Powerful and haunting, Between Clay and Dust is a triumph of storytelling and a poignant exploration of love, honour, redemption, and the strength that great souls find to go on when all is lost.
