'A terrific first novel, warm and wise' The Times
Hayat is living a life dominated by school and baseball in Midwest America. His existence is ruffled only by the tension between his parents. Then Mina appears and changes everything.
Mina is beautiful, independent and fleeing a disastrous marriage in Pakistan. Her presence is healing, and her sense of spirituality reonates with Hayat as nothing has before. But this new sense of purpose is mingled with a growing infatuation for the woman he calls Aunt.
When Mina catches the eye of another, Hayat's jealousy is fuelled by the prejudices of those around him. If he acts, the impact will ricochet through his community with catastrophic consequences . . .
