| book description |

_______________ 'Beautifully written in cunning, punning, glancing prose' - Independent 'A whirlwind â€¦ Owes plenty to Salman Rushdie and some to Hollywood â€¦ Exuberant, knowingly exotic and deceptively serious' - Guardian 'Kamila Shamsie has created a rich, bright world' - Times Literary Supplement _______________ Coming back to Karachi is like stepping into the sea again after months on land. Aliya finds herself constantly enraptured by her familyâ€™s unsettling legends. These are troublesome stories, tinged by the Dard-e-Dilâ€™s fear that they are cursed by their â€˜not-quiteâ€™ twins. As she becomes romantically intertwined with a boy from the wrong side of the tracks, Aliya begins to see links between herself and her scandalous aunt Mariam, which may spell her undoing. A tale of family lore, secrets and forbidden love, Salt and Saffron is an awe-inspiring novel written with compassion, wryness and glittering prose. _______________ 'A funny, clever and romantic story' - Barbara Trapido 'The stories within the stories describe Pakistani society, its peoples and its mores, better than anything that has come from the Other Side for a long time. This is a good read' - India Today
