Description
In the aftermath of an American terrorist attack, Nargis—an architect’s wife and the heart of a close-knit household—must rebuild her life while grief, suspicion, and political violence close in from every direction. As the story moves between Pakistan’s past and present, she confronts the ways corruption can hollow out communities and how resilience can still take root in ordinary acts of care. Nadeem Aslam weaves a deeply human narrative of love and loss, exploring faith, identity, and the moral disguises people adopt to survive. With lyrical intensity and sharp social insight, the novel asks what it means to remain compassionate when the world insists on turning tragedy into blame.
