“Aneeta Prem’s novel ‘But It’s Not Fair’ had a profound effect on me and the students at our school. Aneeta has an extraordinary gift for taking subjects that are so often left unspoken and easily ignored, and then bringing them into sharp, unforgettable focus. ‘Cut Flowers’ does just the same – presenting the shocking subject of female genital mutilation in a style that is compellingly readable and, as a result, all the more disturbing. This is an important book. Recommended.”
