Descriere
The
Dard-e-Dils
are
known
for
their
clavicles
and
love
of
stories.
The
family
is
cursed
by
its
not-quite
twins,
and
Aliya,
prey
to
her
family's
legends,
begins
to
believe
that
she
is
another
"not-quite
twin",
cosmically
connected
with
her
aunt
Mariam
in
a
way
that
hardly
bodes
well.

Recenzii
Beautifully written in cunning, punning, glancing prose
A whirlwind . Owes plenty to Salman Rushdie and some to Hollywood . Exuberant, knowingly exotic and deceptively serious
Kamila Shamsie has created a rich, bright world
A funny, clever and romantic story . perhaps Kamila Shamsie is our new multi-culti Nancy Mitford; a global girl who does love in both hot and cold climates
The stories within the stories describe Pakistani society, its peoples and its mores, better than anything that has come from the Other Side for a long time. This is a good read
