""A heady, heart-wrenching, magnetic debut, bursting with both love and fury."" --Holly Race, Sunday Times bestselling author of Six Wild Crowns ""Bouazzaoui's tale of a furious rebellion and a tragic war is woven together with a stunningly tender romance, and an unbreakable family bond. A debut of epic scope, Aicha instantly establishes this author as one to watch. Furious, heart-wrenching, and utterly enchanting, Aicha tells the story of a heroine unlike any other I've read. I devoured this in two sittings, totally enthralled."" --Esmie Jikiemi-Pearson, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Principle of Moments
