Her mother is a maalish wali, paid to massage the tired bones of rich women. But Anita's life will change forever when she meets her elderly neighbour, a man whose shelves of books promise an escape to a different world. On the other side of Karachi lives Monty, whose father owns half the city and expects great things of him. But when a beautiful and rebellious girl joins his school, Monty will find his life going in a very different direction. Sunny's father left India and went to England to give his son the opportunities he never had. Yet Sunny doesn't fit in anywhere. It's only when his charismatic cousin comes back into his life that he realises his life could hold more possibilities than he ever imagined. These three lives will cross in the desert, a place where life and death walk hand in hand, and where their closely guarded secrets will force them to make a terrible choice" -- $c Publisher description. 650 0 $a Pakistanis $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Pakistani diaspora $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Social classes $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Prejudices $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Radicalization $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Islamic fundamentalism $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Interpersonal relations $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Mosul (Iraq) $v Fiction. 941 $a 6 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305020320.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117012943.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20210508010105.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20201010010526.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20201002012158.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200821010048.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=94E8AAA8E37311EAB60C0E5E97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
