ACCLAIMED WINNER OF THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION Fourteen years ago
Aasmaani's mother Samina, a blazing beauty and fearless activist,
walked out of her house and was never seen again. Aasmaani refuses to
believe she is dead and still dreams of her glorious return. Now grown
up and living in Karachi, Aasmaani receives what could be the
longed-for proof that her mother is still alive. As she comes closer
to the truth she is also irresistibly drawn to Ed, her ally and
sparring partner, and the only person who can understand the profound
hurt – and the profound love – that drives her. _______________
