Description

THE EXPLOSIVE NOVEL FROM PULITZER PRIZE WINNER AYAD AKHTAR Terrific The Times Extraordinary Sunday Express A great American story Metro HOW OFTEN DOES SOMEONE YOU MEET TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE? Hayat Shah was captivated by Mina long before he met her: his mother s beautiful, brilliant friend is a family legend. When he learns that Mina is leaving Pakistan to live with the Shahs in America, Hayat is thrilled. Hayat s father is less enthusiastic. Ever wary of fundamentalism, he doesn t relish the idea of Mina s fervid devotion under his roof. What no one expects is that when Mina shows Hayat the beauty of the Quran, it will utterly transform him. Mina s real magic may be that the Shah household becomes a happy one. But when Mina catches the eye of a Jewish doctor and family friend, Hayat s jealousy is inflamed by the community s anti-Semitism - and he acts with catastrophic consequences for those he loves most.
