Klappentext zu „In Other Rooms, Other Wonders “
In Other Rooms, Other Wonders illuminates a place and people as it describes the overlapping worlds of an extended Pakistani landowning family. Servants, masters, peasants and socialites, all inextricably bound to each other, confront the advantages and constraints of their station, the dissolution of old ways, and the shock of change. These richly textured stories reveal the complexities of Pakistani class and culture, as they describe the loves, triumphs, misunderstandings and tragedies of everyday life.

Rezension zu „In Other Rooms, Other Wonders “
'In Other Rooms, Other Wonders may be fiction but it is of such an authentic stamp that it is history as well, more so by the day, and deserves to be read as such' The Times 'An astonishing collection of tales' William Dalrymple 'These stories are so engrossing that there is a wrench when one ends and the next must begin ... Mueenuddin's stories are intense with emotion' Sunday Times 'Each of the stories opens a door on to a life you had never expected, shines a light for a while and quietly closes the door again ... Mueenuddin writes with the freshness of an exile and the intimacy of an insider about Pakistani culture' Observer
