Reviews
Writing for The Guardian, Ashish Ghadiali states that "in Sands we have an incomparable guide who finds a kind of redemption on every road of the human experience, though never at the expense of responsibility or truth. The outcome is a feat of exhilarating storytelling – gripping, gratifying and morally robust."[3]
