The High Low 'Bhutto's new novel will move you' - Elif Shafak
_________________________ On the cusp of adulthood, three young
people are about to make the most momentous decision of their
lives. Anita lives in Karachi's slums - fearful that her fate is to
serve the rich, until an elderly neighbour offers her an escape
into another world . . . Monty belongs to Karachi's elite - his
future is mapped out, until he meets a beautiful, rebellious girl .
. . Sunny is a Portsmouth teenager - he is suffocated by the love
and expectation of his father, until his charismatic cousin shows
him a way to be his own man . . . These three paths are about to
collide. And when they do, Anita, Monty and Sunny will find
themselves at the mercy of powers beyond their control, and faced
with a choice that will change them forever.
