Among Muslims (eBook)

Kathleen Jamie's prose writing is utterly luminous, as you'd expect from her poetry, but Among Muslims (Sort of Books) is much more than a well-written travel book, and its insights are even more urgent in the light of the dangerous and criminal crudity of President Bush's approach to the region

A better emissary to the Karakoram could not be imagined. She displays a deep warmth unemcumbered by illusion.

This eloquent tale with its plea for understanding and tolerance couldn't have been better timed.

Genius is no stranger to the work of Kathleen Jamie, whose finely poised writing and subtly profound sensibility have made her such an artisan of the human heart.

A wonderfully sensual study of the land and its people which feels more timeless than topical

It is her beautiful prose, drawn from a rural Scottish palate, that really illuminates the book - a wonderfully sensual study of the land and its people which feels more topical than timeless.

A beautifully crafted account... the power of Jamie's prose is spare but magical. She writes tenderly but without sentimentality. Should be required reading.

What is ultimately most impressive is the energy, good humour and panache with which Jamie's language rises to the variety of its occasions.

Illuminated throughout with a vision that sees beneath surfaces. To share a journey such as this is an enriching experience.
