Absolutely beautiful book. The prose was insane and the metaphors?!?! 🤌🤌
Padma is the audience self insert and she was sorely needed. "Just get on with it Saleem!" This is the type of book that begs you to just let go and follow along, and once I did that I really loved it. My only issue was that i had such high inertia to each reading session :(
Pickles and Jamila Singer were amazing metaphors for life & Pakistan. The conversations my bookclub had about this book were so wonderful 😊
