The book tells the story of Nazneen, apparently stillborn in Bangladesh village in 1967 up to 2001 when she is a 34 year old mother, wife, lover and worker in London. Is that it? Yes, more or less that is it.

|comment= Thanks for this review. I became impatient with the book and never did finish it. The letters from sister Hasina were too long and hard to stick with . Nevertheless there were some lovely descriptions and beautiful writing.

|comment=I loved this book. I listened to it as an Audible book read by Meera Syal who brought a heart breaking intensity to the story and vividly brought to life the characters and particularly what happens to poor Hasena. It was a real insight into Bangladeshi culture of which previously I knew nothing.
