Produktinformationen zu „Other Names for Love “
An atmospheric story of love and violence in rural Pakistan from an exceptional new voice. Sixteen-year-old Fahad is travelling with his father to the family's farmlands. Fahad doesn't want to be there: they are not close. But when he falls in love with a boy from the next village, Fahad has an experience that will shape the rest of his life.
Klappentext zu „Other Names for Love “
The summer's unmissable literary debut, for fans of Damon Galgut, Brandon Taylor and Hisham MatarOn the train from Karachi, as dusk begins to fall, Fahad's dreams of his summer in London are fading. He is headed to Abad, the family's feudal estate, where his father intends to toughen up his sensitive boy, to teach him about power, duty, family -- to make him a man.
Instead, over the course of one shimmering, indolent season, Fahad finds himself seduced by the wildness of the land and by the people he meets: those who revere and revile his father; cousin Mousey, who lives alone with a man he calls his manager; and Ali, a teenager like him, whose presence threatens to unearth all that is hidden.
Other Names for Love is a truly exceptional novel: a luminous tale of memory and desire, inheritance and love, and the search for a sense of home. Written with urgency and unusual beauty, it marks the arrival of a stunning new voice in fiction.
