Her marriage is quickly revealed to be a sham, a trap from which there is no escape. In a world of stifling conformity, Tahira must fight for her very identity: as a woman, and as a painter. Tragedy strikes when her family and friends are caught up in the brutally repressive regime. Faced with horror and loss, she embarks upon a series of paintings entitled 'The Empty Room', filling the blank canvases with vivid colour and light."--Publisher's description. 530 $a Also available as an e-book. 651 0 $a Karachi (Pakistan) $v Fiction. 651 7 $a Pakistan $z Karachi. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206375 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726640 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726481 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317014411.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CF24472A586511EA978CCE3397128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
