Claire Hajaj [tells her story] with intensity and a deep sensitivity towards people, and all their strengths and shortcomings., 'I finished The Water Thief with tears in my eyes. It's the story of so many Westerners who find meaning and purpose working in developing countries; who fall in love with a place and its people; who try so hard to make things better; and whose efforts can have tragic, unintended consequences.', 'I finished The Water Thief with tears in my eyes. It's the story of so many Westerners who find meaning and purpose working in developing countries; who fall in love with a place and its peop≤ who try so hard to make things better; and whose efforts can have tragic, unintended consequences.', 'Claire Hajaj writes with compassion and insight and her characters are rounded and believable... The Water Thief amply fulfils the promise of her debut novel and confirms that here is a writer who can invoke passion and intellect with equal and satisfying facility.', 'Claire Hajaj follows her Middle Eastern-set debut, Ishmael's Oranges, with the engrossing story of Nick, an architect who, after the sudden death of his father, leaves his fiancée in London to help build a children's hospital in an unspecified village in the Sahara...inspired by the dilemmas she faced as an aid worker for the UN...it engages as a parable of a Westerner who, trying to do the right thing, finds that perhaps there is no right thing to be done.', 'Claire Hajaj follows her Middle Eastern-set debut, Ishmael's Oranges , with the engrossing story of Nick, an architect who, after the sudden death of his father, leaves his fiancée in London to help build a children's hospital in an unspecified village in the Sahara ... inspired by the dilemmas she faced as an aid worker for the UN...it engages as a parable of a Westerner who, trying to do the right thing, finds that perhaps there is no right thing to be done.', 'This book completely tore my heart open and made me take a hard look at my own life... The characters in this book will long live in my heart and memory. This has to be one of the most thought-provoking, soul searching books I've ever read...exquisitely written, intense and profound.', 'Claire Hajaj [tells her story] with intensity and a deep sensitivity towards people, and all their strengths and shortcomings.', 'A deceptively simple story that addresses many of the problems facing western African nations...drought, corruption, politics, questionable charitable interventions...and wraps it all in a very human story of love and loss.'

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
