ACCLAIM FOR “THE WORLD UNSEEN”
 

“It is an impressive debut. Sarif’s story brings together the descriptive power of the novelist with the screenwriter’s mastery of dialogue.”
– The Times

“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…”
– Johannesburg Star, Book of the Week

“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.”
– The Times, Play

“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.”
– Pride

“A really wonderful book. Sarif’s writing is delicate and confident and the characters are real and very believable.”
– Maggie O’Farrell, Author

“Highly original…this is a stylishly written work. Sarif is near faultless…”
– India Weekly

“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.”
– Dyverse

“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
