Review
Utterly compelling, rich with voice and psychological insight, populated with heartbreakingly real characters, Eyes Like Mine will stay with you for a long, long time. Perhaps forever. - Jeffrey Deaver
A brave, unflinching heroine and brave, unflinching writing add up to an extraordinary debut - highly recommended. - Lee Child
'Suspenseful, atmospheric and often deeply moving . . . one of the most complicated and fascinating protagonists I've come across in a long time. I'd follow Nora Watts (and her dog) anywhere.' - Alison Gaylin
Sheena Kamal has created a fresh and original character who grips the reader with her grit and courage. We're rooting for Nora Watts from the outset and I can't wait to read more of her story - Sarah Ward, Crimepieces
It's a taut book, very bleak writing . . . I really enjoyed it. It made for a different pace and style to some of the books I have read recently. This is the author's debut novel and I'm looking forward to what she can do in the future. - For the love of Books
I loved Eyes Like Mine - I'm not sure whether it was Nora who was spot on brilliant as an engaging and divisive main protagonist, or the themes within (as an adopted child myself I related on many levels here) or the really quite brilliant storytelling but overall this one was a huge hit with me . . . utterly riveting and totally addictive . . . excellent atmospheric writing vibe that both descriptively and decisively puts you right on the spot . . . Intelligent, thought provoking and beautifully written, Eyes Like Mine comes highly recommended from me. - Liz Loves Books
'Kamal has come up with an unusual and engaging character that is uniquely her own. Nora carries a plot which could veer into unbelievably with panache and there's a page-turning thrilling element to the narrative. This could be my book of the year and it's only January.' -- Sarah Ward - Crime Pieces
'Eyes Like Mine is an excellent psychological suspense novel. I loved it. The plot is intricate, complicated and fast moving, highlighting various issues such as mixed race inheritance and differences in treatment based on skin colour, homelessness, and environmental issues. These never overpower the story, but form part of the book as a whole.I was almost breathless as I read Eyes Like Mine. - Books Please
'It's an immersive read that will reach out and grab you from the very first sentence with startling vigour. Sheena Kamal's writing is just brilliant. Her beautiful descriptions drag us into the environment of Vancouver and deposit us firmly beside Nora.' - Ronnie Turner Ad Astra
'This is a dark read full of intrigue and mystery. Set in Canada you can almost feel the cold weather as the writing is extremely descriptive and sets the atmosphere. Fast paced and full of grit this will have the reader hooked straight away.' - Supermum
