The build up of tension in this short novel is so well done. Once you start reading you really don't want to put it down. And what actually does happen at the end......?

I found the point of view and voice that this was written in extremely difficult to get into, the first few chapters were hard going, but it was so worth the effort in perseverance.
Written from the view of a stranger talking to a stranger at a Lahore café, we explore causes, betrayal, the American dream, cultural expectation and more.
The voice of this novel is extremely distinct, with next to no dialogue between the strangers, the only real dialogue is in the stranger’s reminiscences.
As the evening progresses the story takes a darker turn as if in step with the darkening skies. There is a constant feeling of menace throughout the meeting, and this also progresses with the darkening.
A wonderful novel, worth keeping going through the difficult beginning, which has more to do with the reader than the writer.

I like reading this because of the different point of view on the subject matter. I enjoyed this book. it was different from what I usually read. The ending was something I had to think about and was not totally clear for me.
