## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Engrossing, great premise
  

*by L***. on Reviewed in the United States on 5 January 2024*

This is about a Pakistani woman in England who gets involved with a mysterious and secretive language institute.The idea of learning any language fluently in ten days is my fantasy! I would be sucked right into whatever Faustian bargain The Centre was offering.I relate deeply to Anisa's ambition. My younger self was quite similar, and I longed to be taken seriously in academia. I found myself fantasizing about what languages I would learn, in what order, and what I would do with the skills.The novel's female friendships were complex and engrossing. I loved the exploration of disillusionment with a brilliant friend who dims their light and their potential for a mediocre man, as well as the intoxicating feeling of falling in love with a new friend.The idea of translation as colonialism echoed Babel, so if you liked that but also lit fic, this is for you.Highly recommend this one.

I was drawn in by the beautifully illustrated characters. Once there, I found a delicious story spiced with just the right amount of bitter sweet social commentary.
