Chicago Tribune pick for Best of Summer (2009)
"Wonderfully imaginative...poignant, hilarious...The branches of this family tree support four generations of achievement, assimilation, disappointment, and dysfunction...Their stories form an affectionate, amusing, intensely human portrait of one family." --Boston Globe
"Mixes equal parts of magical realism, social commentary, family drama, and lighthearted humor to create a delicious and intriguing indulgence worth savoring." --Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Little pigs and lost siblings make for decent bedtime-story fodder. But the life and times of Fatima Abdullah, the madcap matriarch of Alia Yunis's charming debut, The Night Counter, is even better." --Daily Candy
