Set over twenty years of convulsive change, Noon is the story of
Rehan Tabassum, a young man whose heart is split across two
cultures' troubled divide. Throughout his young life, Rehan has
been aware of his father's absence. The journey to find him is long
and difficult, from the glitter of his mother's New Delhi to the
Pakistan of her former lover, the man Rehan has never known.
Through lands of sudden wealth and hidden violence, in a toxic
atmosphere of blackmail and moral danger, he travels towards the
centre of a dark and shifting world. But his imagined destination
is simply another beginning . . . 'As the political and personal
undergo seismic shifts, Taseer grapples with new ways of telling
stories. In both form and content, he conveys with great acuity
what happens when the ground beneath our feet is shaken to its
core' Independent 'An engrossing and gifted writer' GQ 'Imbued with
a feel of latent menace, Noon explores a morally unedifying world
of power, corruption, violence and complicity' Guardian 'Gripping'
