I’m currently reading Nadeem Aslam’s “Maps for Lost Lovers“. Just finished with Lisa Samson’s “Songbird“.
“Maps for Lost Lovers“
In an unnamed town, Jugnu and his lover Chanda have disappeared. Rumors abound in the close-knit Pakistani community, and then on a snow-covered January morning, Chanda’s bothers are arrested formurder. Telling the story of the next twelve months, “Maps for Lost Lovers” opens the heart of a family at the crossroads of culture, community, nationality and
religion, and expresses their pain in a language that is arrestingly poetic.
