A gorgeous, gripping read Kamila Shamsie A multi-generational masterpiece Daily Mail * A Book of the Year for The Times, Guardian and Daily Telegraph * Mehar, a young bride in rural Punjab, is trying to discover the identity of her new husband. It is 1929, and she and her sisters-in-law - married to three brothers in a single ceremony - spend their days hard at work on the family farm, sequestered from contact with the men. When Mehar develops a theory as to which of them is hers, a passion is ignited that will put more than one life at risk.
