Lifting the Veil by Kamila Shamsie, Ismat Chughtai

emotional reflective medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

some of the stories had endings that rlly punched me in the gut (in the best way). i like how she writes with subtlety and uses metaphors & lets u figure out what happened. her stories highlight the condition of pakistani society. must read for feminists & ppl interested in south asian culture.
