In Pakistan, like the rest of Asia, the contrast between wealth and poverty sets again the stage of so much passion and heartbreak. It is in this part of the world that the divide is so stark and poignant.

In the last story, I am again reminded of the stark disparity between the poor and wealthy, with mortality bridging these two worlds.

Pakistani literature appears more passionate and sensual than the writing from its other South Asian neighbour. Could it be the Persian influence?

Even though I have only read the first two stories, I am smitten with that sour beauty that is Pakistan. The lives of each protagonists could still be the reality of someone today because abject poverty still exists amid so much uncertainty. There is little hope for me to see Pakistan in this lifetime so I am pleased to be able to read about this country.
