Description

Zarin Wadia is a girl with many contradictions - bright and vivacious, yet also a troublemaker. Her life has been shaped by her experiences as an orphan and her many romantic entanglements, which have made her the subject of endless gossip at school. When Zarin's story is pieced together after a tragic accident, it becomes clear that she was far more than just a girl like that. This beautifully written debut novel tackles complicated issues of identity, class, and religion, painting a portrait of teenage ambition, angst, and alienation that feels both inventive and universal. Tanaz Bhathena's novel is an eye-opening exploration of the complexities of life in present-day Saudi Arabia, sparking heated discussions about sexist double standards and the ways societies restrict, control, and punish women and girls.
