On the train from Karachi, as dusk begins to fall, Fahad's dreams
of his summer in London are fading. He is headed to Abad, the
family's feudal estate, where his father intends to toughen up his
sensitive boy, to teach him about power, duty, family -- to make
him a man. Instead, over the course of one shimmering, indolent
season, Fahad finds himself seduced by the wildness of the land and
by the people he meets: those who revere and revile his father;
cousin Mousey, who lives alone with a man he calls his manager; and
Ali, a teenager like him, whose presence threatens to unearth all
that is hidden. Other Names for Love is a truly exceptional novel:
a luminous tale of memory and desire, inheritance and love, and the
search for a sense of home. Written with urgency and unusual
beauty, it marks the arrival of a stunning new voice in fiction.
