520    In the spirit of Joyce's Dubliners and Turgenev's A 
       Sportsman's Sketches, Daniyal Mueenuddin's collection of 
       linked stories illuminates a place and a people through an
       examination of the entwined lives of landowners and their 
       retainers on the Gurmani family farm in the countryside 
       outside of Lahore, Pakistan. An aging feudal landlord's 
       household staff, the villagers who depend on his favor, 
       and a network of relations near and far who have sought 
       their fortune in the cities confront the advantages and 
       constraints of station, the dissolution of old ways, and 
       the shock of change. Mueenuddin bares?at times humorously,
       at times tragically?the complexities of Pakistani class 
       and culture and presents a vivid picture of a time and a 
       place, of the old powers and the new, as the Pakistani 
       feudal order is undermined and transformed.
