Fatima, Farah, Bubblee and Mae, the four sisters of the Amir family, are sometimes tired of being the only Muslim young women in a rural British village, not helped by their eccentric neighbours, including the hippie nudists next door. Oldest sister Fatima - or, as her family have always nicknamed her, Fatti (which, she worryingly suspects, has just as much to do with her inability to lose weight and guilty-pleasure love of Primula squeezy cheese as it does her birth name) - is having a particularly hard time finding her place in the world.

Da novellen Amokløper/Amok utkom i 1922, var begrepet ”amok” fremdeles et ukjent begrep. Zweig lånte det fra indonesisk kultur, hvor det beskriver en tilstand der en person angriper en fiende i blindt raseri og forsøker å drepe både fienden og alle andre som står i veien. Som mange av Zweigs verker har Amok/Amokløper en psykologisk bakgrunn. Den handler om en leges ekstreme besettelse og forfølgelse av en kvinne som er blitt gravid utenfor ekteskapet og som nå vil ha legen til å utføre en abort.
