Sawyha objectives: "With the precise sense and delicate pen we are accustomed to from him, Hisham Matar takes us in 'Honeyed Friends' on a one-night journey through the streets of London, to cross thirty years, and to realize how circumstances and political events shape individual lives and intrude upon the most delicate details." Alaa Shafak: "I have always admired Hisham Matar's voice; a tender and compassionate voice, yet strong and captivating at the same time." Dr. Hussein Hammouda: "This is a novel haunted by testimony and memory filled with vivid scenes, moving freely through its sections, exploring and revealing the long hands, visible and invisible, of the oppressive authorities, and their practices that cast heavy shadows on human bonds, shaping scenes that are difficult to ignore and also difficult to forget."
