Book review: This Is Where the Serpent Lives
Jenna Todd, bookseller and reviewer at Time Out Bookstore in Auckland, gives a spirited take on Daniyal Mueenuddin’s novel. She highlights its Pakistan setting, interwoven four-story structure, vivid farming and place details, memorable central characters like Bayezid and Saqib, and the charged final fifty pages. She also touches on the author’s background and why the book has drawn strong attention.
