      Tutto è iniziato con un misterioso biglietto cucito dentro un abito nuziale. Ero andata in un negozio dell’usato per disfarmi del mio vestito da sposa, così da togliermi di torno la rappresentazione in pizzo e merletti del mio fallimento sentimentale. E tra le cianfrusaglie ho scoperto che qualcuno aveva avuto la stessa idea. Così ho dato un’occhiata al meraviglioso modello a sirena di qualche altra relazione andata in frantumi e, con sorpresa, ho trovato il misterioso messaggio: “Grazie per aver trasformato ogni mio sogno in realtà”. C’era anche una firma: Reed Eastwood, apparentemente l’uomo più romantico che sia mai esistito. Non sono riuscita a trattenere la curiosità. Non solo l’ho cercato, scoprendo che è bellissimo, ma ho anche deciso che avrei fatto di tutto per capire che cosa abbia mandato in frantumi il suo fidanzamento. Chi l’avrebbe mai detto che per uno strano scherzo del destino sarebbe diventato il mio capo?

      La notte in cui incontrai Drew Jagger, era appena entrato nel mio nuovo ufficio di Park Avenue. Chiamai il 9-1-1 prima di attaccarlo con le mie nuove abilità di Krav Maga. Lui mi immobilizzò rapidamente, ridendo della mia tentata aggressione. Si scoprì che non era un intruso, ma il legittimo occupante del mio ufficio, in vacanza mentre il suo spazio veniva ristrutturato. Così un truffatore era riuscito a affittarmi uno spazio non disponibile. Ero stata truffata di diecimila dollari. Il giorno dopo, dopo ore alla stazione di polizia, Drew ebbe pietà di me e mi fece un'offerta che non potevo rifiutare: avrei risposto al telefono mentre la sua segretaria era assente e lui mi avrebbe lasciato restare finché non avessi trovato un nuovo posto. Avrei dovuto essere grata e tacere quando sentii i consigli che dava ai suoi clienti, ma non riuscii a trattenermi. Non avrei mai immaginato che il mio corpo reagisse ogni volta che litigavamo. Eravamo completamente opposti: Drew era un distruttore di relazioni, mentre il mio lavoro era aiutare le persone a salvare i loro matrimoni. L'unica cosa che avevamo in comune era lo spazio che condividevamo e un'attrazione sempre più difficile da negare.

      Free-spirited and rebellious, Saira has grown up in California with her beautiful, obedient sister Ameena. From childhood, she has broken the boundaries between her desire for independence and her family's traditions - in particular, her Bombay-bred mother's idea of how girls should behave. Now, hungry for experience and curious about the world, Saira travels to Karachi for a wedding, and stumbles on family secrets that will shape the rest of her life. It's the beginning of a journey of understanding and reconciliation that goes back three generations. Further surprises are to come as Saira visits London and discovers the political forces that have driven her father's family, in India and in England. As her background gradually reveals itself, Saira finds that the battles she faces - over love, belonging and fulfilment - have faced others before, and comes to realise that her many-layered inheritance is a thing to be treasured. In a beautifully written and deeply moving narrative, Nafisa Haji explores issues of displacement and belonging and the lure of family, home and tradition versus career and the excitement of the wider world - for men as well as women.
