It's also a love story: between a young Pakistani man trying to make his way as photographer in America, and the daughter of a Pakistani father and German mother brought up in the US, who wants to return to a country she's never seen. Together they make the trip to Pakistan, where a chance meeting with a young nomad changes their lives, and the lives of those around them, forever. The novel is also a love letter to the wilds of Northern Pakistan, to glaciers, to the old Silk Road, and to the nomadic life of the indigenous people in the Northern territories, where China encroaches and Pakistanis, Uzbeks, Russians, Chinese, and Afghans all come together to trade.Review"In gorgeous prose, Khan writes about Pakistan, a land of breathtaking beauty, and the complex relationships between people who are weighted with grief and estrangement. As her characters' lives play out against the backdrop of the external world whose violence gradually closes in on them, Khan brilliantly probes the fatal limitations of human understanding. A novel of great lucidity and tenderness, filled with splendid descriptions of the land, the people who have always inhabited it, and those who are irresistibly drawn to it."--Therese Soukar Chehade"Smart, fierce, and poignant: perhaps the most exciting novel yet by this very talented writer."--Mohsin Hamid"Smart, fierce, and poignant: perhaps the most exciting novel yet by this very talented writer."---Mohsin Hamid"Smart, fierce, and poignant: perhaps the most exciting novel yet by this very talented writer."---Mohsin HamidAbout the AuthorUzma Aslam Khan is the author of Trespassing and The Geometry of God, both highly acclaimed novels, published around the world.
