Resumen del Editor

Random House presents the audiobook edition of A Place for Us by Fatima Farheen Mirza, read by Deepti Gupta and Sunil Malhotra.

A Place for Us catches an Indian Muslim family as they prepare for their eldest daughter’s wedding. But as Hadia’s marriage - one chosen of love, not tradition - gathers the family back together, there is only one thing on their minds: can Amar, the estranged younger brother of the bride, be trusted to behave himself after three years away?

A Place for Us tells the story of one family, but all family life is here. Rafiq and Layla must come to terms with the choices their children have made while Hadia, Huda and Amar must reconcile their present culture with their parents’ world, treading a path between old and new. And they must all learn how the smallest decisions can lead to the deepest betrayals.

This is a novel for our times: a deeply moving examination of love, identity and belonging that turns our preconceptions over one by one. It announces Fatima Farheen Mirza as a major new literary talent.

"Beautiful, intimate, tender. So vividly told the characters live and breathe." (Rachel Joyce)

"A brilliant, highly readable contemporary tale of identity and belonging." (Elle)

the weight of ideology

This is a very well presented story.
The readers are both excellent.
I couldn't stop listening.

This is a story of how people can be forced to live their lives when caught by custom and the community gaze. I find the characters caught in a web of the community and the other. This is not to say they rebel, they are with one exception singularly accepting of their lot in life. Ultimately even the most interesting character who cannot conform is still caught in the iron web even in his rebellion.
Finally the community beats everyone, and the weakness of the story is that we are left hanging as to the fate of most interesting story line while the others resolve themselves with an iron cast predictability.
Its a good read that impels the reader forward with characters that are mystifyingly unexplored. Most people will enjoy this book.
My overall feelin is it feels like a very long introduction to a tale yet to be told.
