Description
Set in 19th-century Pakistan, this novel tells the story of Shabanu, a young woman who faces significant challenges in her daily life. As she navigates the complexities of her husband's household and plans for her daughter's education, Shabanu must also contend with the societal norms that govern her every move.
When Shabanu meets Omar during a visit to their home, she finds herself drawn to him despite the traditions that forbid their union. As their relationship deepens, Shabanu must confront the consequences of her choices and decide what is truly important to her.
This powerful and moving novel explores themes of love, family, and identity in a richly detailed historical context.
