内容简介

This compelling, breath-taking read for fans of AMERICAN DIRT will make you question everything you thought you knew

One of the 'most important and prescient' books - Dolly Alderton and Pandora Sykes, The High Low

'Bhutto's new novel will move you' - Elif Shafak_________________________

On the cusp of adulthood, three young people are about to make the most momentous decision of their lives. Anita lives in Karachi's slums - fearful that her fate is to serve the rich, until an elderly neighbour offers her an escape into another world . . .

Monty belongs to Karachi's elite - his future is mapped out, until he meets a beautiful, rebellious girl . . .

Sunny is a Portsmouth teenager - he is suffocated by the love and expectation of his father, until his charismatic cousin shows him a way to be his own man . . .

These three paths are about to collide.

And when they do, Anita, Monty and Sunny will find themselves at the mercy of powers beyond their control, and faced with a choice that will change them forever. _________________________
