Review:
“Loading his pregnant wife, infant daughter, and widowed mother-in-law into a bullock cart, Faredoon Junglewalla leaves his ancestral village in the forests of central India for the bustling city of Lahore. Funny, exotic, bawdy, ingenious, always entertaining, full of surprises”. The Publisher, Milkweed Editions , October 4, 1996.
“There is very little that Sidhwa's deft pen misses as she creates an array of delightful, idiosyncratic Parsees. The result is a gallery of vivid, lovable rogues, with the pragmatic hero, Freddie Junglewalla, and his mother-in-law, the riotous Jerbanoo, heading the list of unforgettable characters." Githa Harihuaran, Economic Times.

“Throughout the novel, Ms. Sidhwa's prose is boisterous and florid, and The Crow Eaters never fails to entertain. She writes with an earthy zest and affection for her characters that make us hope for subsequent novels continuing the Junglewalla clan's story”. Carolyne Wright, The New York Times
