Description
Book Synopsis
A collection of stories set in troubled times in Karachi, Lahore and London. War, partition and military rule form the backdrop for the anticipation and anxiety of changing homes and family life, and the hopes and failures of love and work.Review Quotes
'Hussein's stories are about individuals and their countries of exile, where the world itself is seen as a place of transit ... A moving and highly aesthetic expression of a new sensibility.' Amit Chaudhuri 'Turquoise must be read slowly to savour its many pleasures ... The fluid prose is sometimes simple and pristine, sometimes sinuous and visceral ... The stories' imagery is radiant.' Mary Flanagan, Independent 'The symbolic and intellectual complexity of Hussein's collection is undeniable.'
