Particularly when you're trying to find a girl for your dull, balding, freshly-divorced cousin and on top of that manage a house full of servants, shop for contraband Prada goods and attend parties every night.
Táto autorka sa ponára do zložitosti modernity a tradície a skúma spoločenské a politické posuny, ktoré formujú súčasný Pakistan. Jej písanie sa vyznačuje prenikavým pozorovaním ľudskej povahy a schopnosťou zachytiť jemné nuansy medziľudských vzťahov. Prostredníctvom svojho literárneho diela sa snaží objasniť témy identity, odlúčenia a hľadania zmyslu v neustále sa meniacom svete. Jej jedinečný hlas ponúka čitateľom hlboký vhľad do skúseností tých, ktorí sa pohybujú na pomedzí rôznych kultúr a presvedčení.


Particularly when you're trying to find a girl for your dull, balding, freshly-divorced cousin and on top of that manage a house full of servants, shop for contraband Prada goods and attend parties every night.
Meet Butterfly, loveable socialite, avid party-goer, inspired shopper and unwittingly acute observer. Of course everyone thinks her life is perfect but having to contend with a conniving mother-in-law, a husband who doesn't like parties, and a circle of friends who bring new meaning to the word competitive, Butterfly thinks her life is far from enviable. And as she lurches from crisis to crisis, trailing Jimmy Choos and pearls of wisdom along the way, it seems she might have a little more on her plate than she's first realised.
