Breakups: Desi Style

Naila Pasha, heir to the Pasha Carpet Factory, believes that money can guarantee long-lasting happiness in a marriage. Her daughters, however, aren’t so easily convinced by this logic. For Sabina, Eisha, Laila and Sophia, marriage is a matter of the heart rather than a game of the mind. As they learn to navigate romantic catastrophe, the Pasha sisters discover that relationships require a heady mix of both head and heart.

In her second novel, Merzia Jilani presents a realistic account of marriage, breakups and loss set against the chaotic, cloistered world of Karachi’s elite.
