520 2  "The story of one struggling middle-class Pakistani family,
       compellingly narrated by a young scholar and diplomat who 
       has observed the traumas of the region firsthand. As a 
       young boy, Awais Reza's family moved from Indian Kashmir 
       to Lahore in Pakistan after Partition. Now middle-aged, 
       Awais is a shopkeeper in the Anarkali Bazaar. Married, 
       with three sons, he looks back on his journey from 
       idealistic young nationalist to increasingly watchful and 
       anxious member of the mercantile class at the heart of 
       Pakistani life. Awais's eldest son has drifted, but 
       returned to help his father run the shop; the middle one 
       is involved in radical Islamist politics; and the youngest
       is a law student who believes that a secular future is 
       Pakistan's last and only hope. Their lives unfold against 
       an increasingly turbulent and violent background as 
       suicide bombers enter the life of urban Lahore with 
       devastating consequences. Haroon K. Ullah's portrait of a 
       middle class family oppressed by a state falling apart 
       around them is a remarkable piece of storytelling. Radical
       Islam is confronted not only in distant mountain passes by
       the armed forces, but most personally and tellingly across
       the kitchen table as families like the Rezas debate their 
       future"--|cProvided by publisher.
