\u00a0\u201c<\/i>The Girl in the Broken Mirror<\/span><\/i><\/b>\u00a0is both harrowing and touching. Jay is wonderfully drawn and engaging. The issues of abuse, culture-clash and the patriarchal sense of entitlement that plagues British Asian men of a certain persuasion, are handled with sensitivity and honesty. The book is refreshing and hard-hitting, which is much needed.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/i>Bali Rai<\/strong><\/p>\n
