Another tale of Pakistan (finally, multiple entries in this area!), this one a lyrically written love story – with all sorts of obstacles, of course – about a modern daughter running an inherited silk factory, and a Massachusetts-educated student returning to Karachi for his father’s funeral. The story is woven together with bits and pieces of the lovers’ perspectives, mixed in with the overarching story of their lives together – and apart.
