Description

_______________

'Beautifully written in cunning, punning, glancing prose' - Independent

'Kamila Shamsie has created a rich, bright world' - Times Literary Supplement
_______________

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
