A big-hearted and compulsively readable novel...[Badami is] a gifted observer of the human comedy.
Toronto Star

Pulsates with humanity.... If you do manage to put this novel down, it’s probably only to compose yourself to keep on reading
Globe and Mail (Canada)

As Can You Hear the Nightbird Call? shows, the enduring state of ‘in-between’ that is part of both immigrant life in Canada and Sikh life in post-partition India is equally rich in the complex joy of struggle and the possibility for tension, misunderstanding, and, sometimes, violence
Calgary Herald (Canada)

Nightbird brilliantly tells the timeless story of immigrants who face hardship as they try to build new lives, straddling two worlds and never really fitting into either
Vancouver Sun

A powerful, heady mix of brilliant characters, poignant reality, and a rare depth of emotional integrity and commitment.... This is a book you will want to explore and savour.
