Product Description
The linked stories in this collection take place in the Pakistani community of North America. Set primarily among a large extended family from Lahore, at the center of which is the young and sensitive Connecticut housewife Zenab. The different voices of the stories all converge upon the shaky, though no less exciting and wonderful world of the immigrant. That world is relentlessly evolving, at times amid protests and at times in surprising ways. Guilt walks hand in hand with nostalgia, the desire to stay never completely overcomes the longing to return. But ultimately, as Zenab says, "All is not lost, is it?"
