_______________ 'Beautifully written in cunning, punning, glancing
prose' - Independent 'A whirlwind ... Owes plenty to Salman Rushdie
and some to Hollywood ... Exuberant, knowingly exotic and
deceptively serious' - Guardian 'Kamila Shamsie has created a rich,
bright world' - Times Literary Supplement _______________ BY THE
ACCLAIMED WINNER OF THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION The Dard-e-Dils
are characterised by their prominent clavicles and love of stories.
Aliya may not have inherited her family's patrician looks, but she
is prey to their legends that stretch back to the days of Timur
Lang. There is a sting to most of these tales, for the Dard-e-Dils
consider themselves cursed by their 'not-quite' twins. Amidst her
growing attraction to a boy from the wrong side of the tracks,
Aliya begins to believe that she is another 'not-quite' twin,
linked to her scandalous aunt Mariam in a way that hardly bodes
well... _______________ 'A funny, clever and romantic story' -
Barbara Trapido 'The stories within the stories describe Pakistani
society, its peoples and its mores, better than anything that has
come from the Other Side for a long time. This is a good read' -
