Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. WINNER OF THE KIRIYAMA PRIZE If Gabriel Garcia Marquez had chosen to write about Pakistani immigrants in England, he might have produced a novel as beautiful and devastating as Maps for Lost Lovers. Jugnu and Chanda have disappeared. Like thousands of people all over England, they were lovers and living together out of wedlock. To Chandas family, however, the disgrace was unforgivable. Perhaps enough so as to warrant murder. As he explores the disappearance and its aftermath through the eyes of Jugnus worldly older brother, Shamas, and his devout wife, Kaukab, Nadeem Aslam creates a closely observed and affecting portrait of people whose traditions threaten to bury them alive. The result is a tour de force, intimate, affecting, tragic and suspenseful. Set in an unnamed town in England, this is a deeply felt, lyrical, and moving novel about a Pakistani family at a crossroads of culture, nationality, religion, and the most intimate crises of faith. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Codice articolo 9781400076970
