Always a rebel, Marianne was the first girl in her class to bleach her hair and learn how to smoke. A few boyfriends and one abortion later she falls in love with Salim, the proud and elegant Pakistani with eyes like treacle.

East meets West in a passionate mixed marriage. However, Marianne knows little of the Islamic view of motherhood. When his wife proves unfaithful, Salim reasons that she is morally incapable of bring up her children and kidnaps them while she is at work ...

Reviews

'Deborah Moggach captures brilliantly the basic incompatabilities and misunderstandings that arise when two people have little knowledge of each other's culture ... both funny and moving.' (Sunday Express)
'This is a nicely balanced account of marital breakdown in peculiarly difficult circumstances.' (Sunday Times)
'The themes are those of an ambitious, dynamic novel ... Absorbing ... dramatic and disturbing.' (The Guardian)
