Description

Amal: the practical sister who digs up the "diamond key" that unlocks the mystery of Pakicetus, a whale-dog creature who once swam the ancient seas that are now Pakistan. Mehwish: the blind younger sister, who moves with the sun and music inside her. Zahoor: their heretical grandfather, a scientist who loves variation and "vim zee" and his two granddaughters most of all. Noman: the young man who steps into a lecture hall, decides "their triangle needs a fourth point," and changes all their lives. These are the four shifting chambers that make the heart of The Geometry of God. Through these vivid, contradictory, and original characters, Khan celebrates the complexities of familial and erotic love, the tug of curiosity and duty, the intersections of faith and longing. Her exuberant language draws from Urdu and Punjabi and invents one of its own for Mehwish, whose fractured English divides and slows and reveals. Such wonderful and persuasive writing. No one writes like her about the body, about the senses, about the physical world. Uzma Aslam Khan is the writer whose new novel I look forward to the most!

About the Author

Uzma Aslam Khan was born in Lahore. Soon after her birth, her parents moved to the Philippines and then to Japan and England. In 1979, they returned to Pakistan and settled in Karachi. Many geographies have shaped me, Uzma says and no wonder this cultural diversity has helped her write good fiction all along. Uzma is the author of four novels. Her second novel Trespassing was shortlisted for Commonwealth Prize Eurasia 2003 and has been translated into 13 languages. Her latest novel Thinner Than Skin was nominated for Man Asian Literary Prize 2012. She currently lives in the USA
