Query: Great Reading!

I just finished reading the book. It is wonderfully written and very hard to put down. The author's style of story telling is very engaging and flowing. I enjoyed the novel especially because it is the first time I read a high-quality English novel WITH a desi (Indo/Pak) theme [probably reflects on my limited exposure to the subcontinent's English writers]. Since I am from the same background, I especially enjoyed the local Urdu/Punjabi phrases/terms interspered throughout the book. It could be a bit distracting for the non-desi readers to encounter so many foreign terms [some of them not fully explained]. I almost suspect that the author was primarily writing for desi readers. I also enjoyed verses and translations quoted from famous Indian/Pakistani poets. The novel effectively touches upon a great human tragedy without being judgemental. Great reading, all around! Highly recommended.
