Why read it?
1 author picked Wild Boar in the Cane Field as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

It is a beautifully rendered and imaginatively descriptive tale that takes the reader to a place few have likely visited—the life and culture of rural Pakistan. It is also a magically realistic tale, a favorite genre of mine. While this poignant story centers on its teenage protagonist, I was immediately captivated by all the characters and their hopes, desires, challenges, and joys.
From Judith's list on exploring the search for sanctuary.
