When shots ring out on the Grand Trunk Road, Nargis's life begins to crumble around her. Her husband, Massud--a fellow architect--is caught in the cross fire and dies before she can confess her greatest secret to him. Now under threat from a powerful military intelligence officer, who demands that she pardon her husband's American killer, Nargis fears that the truth about her past will soon be exposed. For weeks someone has been broadcasting people's secrets from the minaret of the local mosque, and, in a country where even the accusation of blasphemy is a currency to be bartered, the mysterious broadcasts have struck fear in Christians and Muslims alike. When the loudspeakers reveal a forbidden romance between a Muslim cleric's daughter and Nargis's Christian neighbor, Nargis finds herself trapped in the center of the chaos tearing their community apart. In his characteristically luminous prose, Nadeem Aslam has given us a lionhearted novel that reflects Pakistan's past and present in a single mirror, a story of corruption, resilience, and the disguises that are sometimes necessary for survival--a revelatory portrait of the human spirit"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Kahuku P/S Library Adult Fiction Aslam Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Fiction Aslam Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Fiction Aslam Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Aslam Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Fiction Aslam Checked In Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Fiction Aslam Checked In Add Copy to MyList
