Opis

A multi-layered, multi-faceted story of love and loneliness, finding and losing, and mixed-race marriage, Revolt is the tale of three wealthy sisters and the problems that no amount of money can solve. There is a daughter, abandoned because of an impulsive marriage, an aunt who pines for lost love, and a bridegroom with the biggest problem of them all. Set in England and the fictional village of Gulistan in Pakistan, with its fascinating array of quirky, eccentric and unforgettable characters, Revolt centers on the forthcoming marriage of two rich cousins and the often hilarious, but always deeply moving, pitfalls and perils of living in a place where everyone knows everybody else's business. "Intimately reveals Pakistani family life. Traditional Muslim values meet modern Western one, setting off a whimsical collection of problems and events."--World Lit Today, May-Aug. 2014
