I really liked this book a lot, much better than the first one. It was more exciting and entertaining to read, although the ending really wasn't satisfying. It was a hopeful and optimistic ending, but not one that I wanted. Great book though that gives you an inside look to Indian/Pakistan culture.

This was a really great book. The main character is great she is very strong and fierce. the book is taken place in Pakistan. I was hooked on it because there was so many new things to learn on each page.

A novel set in present day (1990s) Pakistan about a girl finding her identity while obeying tradition, arranged marriage, etc.

Second in the series about Shabanu, it give us an inside picture of how it is to live in a Middle Eastern compound with many wives, and those dynamics are not so good.

My heart ached for Shabanu.
