A novel by the author of Ice-Candy-Man
Zaitoon, a new bride, is desperately unhappy in her marriage and is contemplating the ultimate escape???the one from which there is no return.
Zaitoon, an orphan, is adopted by Qasim, who has left the isolated hill town where he was born and made a home for the two of them in the glittering, decadent city of Lahore. As the years pass, Qasim makes a fortune but grows increasingly nostalgic about his life in the mountains. Impulsively, he promises Zaitoon in marriage to a man of his tribe. But for Zaitoon, giving up the civilized city life she remembers to become the bride of this hard, inscrutable husband proves traumatic to the point where she decides to run away, though she knows that by the tribal code the punishment for such an act is death.
???Sidhwa shows a marvellous feel for imagery???at a breathless pace she weaves her exotic cliffhanger from passion, power, lust, sensuality, cruelty and murder.???

Great fiction with just enough amount of history!
By The One Eyed Turtle
Bapsi Sidhwa is an extraordinary writer. She seems to capture the essence of culture and tradition within Pakistan.
The characters are well formed and the author follows this journey quite well with a mesh of "why" for the unanswered cultural questions.
This is a part of the world that evokes great ambivalence for me the reader, because I want to criticize the abuse of women and can't seem to understand why they don't run away. Sidhwa anticipates this feeling and tries to resolve it in her novel.

beautifully written
By a cup of coffee and a fairy tale
a very beautifully written book which describes the state of women in eastern countries. all has been said about on how it portrays pakistan in a bad light and women have all the freedom there. but i would love to see some intellectual souls seeing he book as a piece of literature.
here is a quote from the book: a beautifully written passage
"A knot of dancing, laughing children had circled an almost limbless beggar. Every time he succeeded in sitting upright the children playfully knocked him over. The men in the bazaar picked their teeth laughed indulgently. She had noticed this cruel habit of jeering at deformities before, and sick to her stomach wanted to scream at the men to stop the children. ‘They’ll wonder why you are fussing,’ Farukh had said, laughing himself, ‘They won’t see your point of view at all, dear – every nation has its own outlet for cruelty.’ Perhaps he was right. In preventing natural outlets for cruelty the developed countries had turned hypocritical and the repressed heat had exploded in nuclear mushrooms. They did not laugh at deformities: they manufactured them."
words like "angrez", "put puttering", "zennanah" only add to a whiff of eastern scent to the story.
it also well describes the state of women all over the world which will call for your empathy towards women.
Carol meanwhile lay in her room, staring into the dark. ‘. . . asked for it,’ isn’t that what Farukh had said?
Women the world over, through the ages, asked to be murdered, raped, exploited, enslaved, to get importunately impregnated, beaten-up, bullied and disinherited. It was an immutable law of nature.
even thought the story is a little slow paced and involves too many characters, they are well designed to fit the bill. i absolutely loved the book. shall definitely read more books by the author.
leaving you with a beautiful stanza by iqbal, which again is mentioned in the book.
" Khudi ko kar buland itna, Heighten your ‘khudi’ to such majesty, ke har takdeer say pahaylay that before every turn of fate Khuda banday say khud poochay, God himself asks man – ‘Buta teri raza kya hai?’ ‘Tell me, what do you wish?’"
