"A subdued,subtle portrait of ordinary people living ordinary lives, rendered in Naipaul's gently evocative prose. There is no plot to speak of, so it often rambles. Sometimes boring, but never unpleasant."
"it was great to read this one after reading among the believers. it revisits the non-arab countries that he had previously visited. reading the tales of the people he encounters understanding their struggles helps the non muslim readers identify with individuals who come from those regions."
