- _______________ 'A richly woven novel … The voice that guides us around this world darts with wit and lightness in a way that is unique and often lovely' - Rana Dasgupta, Guardian 'The plot gallops along, ensuring a gripping read … thought-provoking' - Independent 'A highly accomplished novel … A multi-layered but shrewdly simple tale' - New Statesman, Books of the Year _______________ BY THE ACCLAIMED WINNER OF THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION When I can bear no more of separation, when I have learnt all that absence can teach me of desire, the walls will shimmer and I will step out of the mirage, into your arms. Fourteen years after the disappearance of her fearless, beautiful mother, Samina, Aasmaani clings onto the dream of her return, refusing to believe she is dead. Now grown up and living in the bustling chaos and rich culture of modern-day Karachi, she receives longed-for proof that her mother is still alive, and the seed of her hope germinates. In her search for the truth of what really happened all those years ago, an unexpected romance will flower and the questions that have plagued her for years will be answered. Broken Verses is a deeply moving account of love, loss and motherhood, asking us to reconcile all that we believe about our families. _______________ 'An elegant, challenging novel about love, loss and deception … vibrant' - Daily Mail 'Sparkling prose and formidable wit' - Daily Telegraph
