_______________ 'Beautifully written in cunning, punning, glancing
prose' - Independent 'A whirlwind … Owes plenty to Salman Rushdie
and some to Hollywood … Exuberant, knowingly exotic and deceptively
serious' - Guardian 'Kamila Shamsie has created a rich, bright world'
- Times Literary Supplement _______________ BY THE ACCLAIMED WINNER OF
THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION The Dard-e-Dils are characterised by
their prominent clavicles and love of stories. Aliya may not have
inherited her family's patrician looks, but she is prey to their
legends that stretch back to the days of Timur Lang. There is a sting
to most of these tales, for the Dard-e-Dils consider themselves cursed
by their 'not-quite' twins. Amidst her growing attraction to a boy
from the wrong side of the tracks, Aliya begins to believe that she is
another 'not-quite' twin, linked to her scandalous aunt Mariam in a
way that hardly bodes well… _______________ 'A funny, clever and
romantic story' - Barbara Trapido 'The stories within the stories
describe Pakistani society, its peoples and its mores, better than
anything that has come from the Other Side for a long time. This is a
good read' - India Today
