Description
In this finely wrought memoir, Sara Suleri Goodyear returns to post-colonial Pakistan to trace how a nation’s upheavals echo through the intimate rhythms of family life. Moving between the personal and the political, she evokes her Welsh mother, her Pakistani father—a prominent journalist—and the fierce presence of her grandmother and siblings, while also following her own passage toward the West. With elegiac immediacy and lyrical precision, Suleri confronts the violence and uncertainty of independence, the shifting meanings of home, and the complicated position of women within a changing culture. Part coming-of-age, part historical reckoning, *Meatless Days* blends memoir and national history to explore identity, memory, and the costs of translation—between languages, loyalties, and worlds.
