Back in Karachi for his father's funeral, Daanish, a young
Pakistani changed by his years at an American university, is
entranced by Dia, a fiercely independent heiress to a silk factory
in the countryside. Their illicit affair will forever rupture two
households and three families, destroying a stable present built on
the repression of a bloody past.
In this sweeping novel of modern Pakistan, Uzma Aslam Khan takes us
from the stifling demands of tradition and family to the daily
oppression of routine political violence, from the gorgeous sensual
vistas of the silk farms to the teeming streets of
Karachi--stinking, crumbling, and corrupt.
