A powerful novel. Shamsie writes with the poetic fervor of her central characters. The complexity of human understanding, lost in the past and struggling to make sense of the current reality is presented in an ode to hope and possibility. This novel is an affirmation of social political activism. Contemporary Pakistan and its patriarchal culture are revealed and the power of women's resistance celebrated.
