Order The World Unseen here.
"It is an impressive debut. Sarif's story brings together the descriptive power of the novelist with the screenwriter's mastery of dialogue."
"I read The World Unseen at a gulp, so entrancing is it's style, so complete it's tale of love and betrayal, and so accurate it's depiction of the physical, social and political scene..."
"Sarif's elegant and understated debut eschews emotional fireworks, and offers an unusual insight into early apartheid... a novel that lives up to its title."
"In the tradition of Vikram Seth, Sarif throws down a literary gauntlet that very few writers will be able to pick and return with any conviction."
"A really wonderful book. Sarif's writing is delicate and confident and the characters are real and very believable."
"Highly original... this is a stylishly written work. Sarif is near faultless...
"The characters shine with the beauty of Sarif's deceptively skilful prose which keeps your eyes skating along the narrative in sheer enjoyment. I read this book in two long sittings, unable to put it down."
If you only read one novel for the rest of the year, make it this one. Sarif is a new writer who deserves to win prizes.Waterstones
