Description
Aliya's family has long been bound by their stories, which stretch back to the days of Timur Lang. But for Aliya, these tales are more than just legends - they're a source of both fascination and shame.
As she navigates her growing attraction to a boy from the wrong side of the tracks, Aliya begins to believe that she's connected to her scandalous aunt Mariam in ways that hardly bode well. It's a connection that threatens to upend everything she thought she knew about herself and her place in the world.
This witty and romantic tale explores the complexities of Pakistani society, its people, and its mores - all through the clever and engaging lens of Aliya's story.
