The matriarchs of his world are strong and outspoken: his mother, Zakia, is a journalist and activist; his paternal grandmother, Daadi, is a shrewd navigator of the mores of her culture; his slightly older cousin, Samar Api, acts as his beloved ally and friend; and Naseem, the stalwart servant woman, is a sharpeyed judge of character. Through the lives of these remarkable women (and in flashback to the life of Zaki’s father), we are drawn into a family’s story through nearly fifty years of partition, wars, coups and upheaval in Pakistani society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a story of love and loss, masterfully written, compellingly told, universally appealing, by a major new international voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781554682379\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":41094743457998,"sku":"9781554682379","price":15.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/9781554682379.jpg?v=1649216976","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781554682379","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
