Allah's Garden: Read/Post Comments

“[Allah’s Garden] is a sad reminder of the cost of war in Western Sahara … Hollowell’s powerful narrative … is an excellent account of a humanitarian disaster.”
- James Sater, author of Morocco: Challenges to Tradition and Modernity

“[Allah’s Garden] is a harrowing tale of the fate of more than 1700 Moroccans held as POWs...[it] is told with great sensitivity."

"A real page-turner ... The combination of the ‘inexperienced’ bright-eyed American and Azeddine is great, and the prose not only moves the reader along with confidence but is also often very psychologically astute. The image of Azeddine slouching down on the couch in the present tense as if the guards are still watching stick with the reader well beyond the pages."
- Café du Livre [The Book Cafe], Marrakesh, Morocco

“[The main character] could be a tragic figure, given the suffering, but due to his persistence, kindness, and courage, this is an inspiring book.”

“For such a short and powerfully succinct story, I have learned greatly about the issues past and present in Western Sahara that form the backdrop to this startling story.”
- Professor Brooke Mackenzie, Al Akhawayn University, Morocco
