Review
‘Mackintosh-Smith’s achievement is to create an entertaining and enlightened view of Yemen, free from the familiar prejudices about Arabs, touched instead by sophistication and savagery, by grim reality and fabulous tales . . . masterful’
(Sunday Times )‘Yemen . . . is assured and agile: witty, quirky, gossipy, learned, poetic . . . [Tim Mackintosh-Smith] has created a work that will endure’
(The Times )‘Mackintosh-Smith seems incapable of writing a dull sentence, and in him the scholar, the linguist and the storyteller swap hats with marvellous speed’
(New York Times )‘Mackintosh-Smith succeeds admirably in shining a light on an obscure corner of the world’
(Financial Times )‘He freshens the genre, adding a street-wise sensibility to impressive erudition . . . very promising and accomplished’
(Times Literary Supplement )
