Fourteen-year-old Maryam and Zahra have always been the best of friends, despite their different backgrounds. This year, 1988, anything seems possible for the girls; and for Pakistan, emerging from the darkness of dictatorship. But a snap decision at a party celebrating the return of democracy brings the girls' childhoods abruptly to an end. A powerful exploration of the clash between society, friendship and power. From the bestselling author of "Home Fire", winner of the Women's Prize for Fiction.
