Review

Contemporary, mystical, timeless. . .The Foghorn Echoes gives me a similar feeling to that which I had with The Kite Runner, of characters haunted by love and hunted by loss, across oceans, timelines and warzones. The story is so specific, yet it speaks of all love. When I finished The Foghorn Echoes, I felt that I had read a fiction which was unquestionably, undeniably true. -- LEMN SISSAY author of My Name is Why and Gold from the Stone

The Foghorn Echoes is a deeply moving book about conflict both internal and external, the ways in which cold accidents-of birth, of place, of time-can leave a human being at war with their own desires, their own sense of self. Danny Ramadan is a gifted, sensitive excavator of the things that break people and put them back together, the past as weight and lightness. In this novel he has created a world of immense sensory and emotional precision, at once true in its living details and yet electric with the presence of ghosts. -- OMAR EL AKKAD author of What Strange Paradise and American War

I've read many stories about love and war. Few have moved me this much. The Foghorn Echoes is marvellous: subtle but dramatic, tender but urgent, and beautifully written. I'll be thinking about it for a very long time. -- DINA NAYERI author of The Ungrateful Refugee

A remarkable read. Danny Ramadan opens a world for his readers and guides them through it with sensitivity and suspense -- BERNHARD SCHLINK - * New York Times bestselling author of The Reader *

Studded with the kind of graceful poetry that makes the most hardened heart soar like a silktail . . . Ramadan has gifted his readers with a resistance manifesto coded with love -- DIRIYE OSMAN

A complex portrait of placelessness - * Times Literary Supplement *
