The story of a wronged young woman and her fight for justice in the face of society’s pressures to preserve the family honor.

“Khan has written a contemporary Tess of the D’Urbervilles, a heart-wrenching and engrossing tale that challenges the definition of morality through the story of a wronged young woman fighting to come to terms with harsh realities and finding empowerment along the way.” — Booklist, Caitlin Brown

“Selina is an engaging central character, a focused and tenacious young woman who refuses to be broken by her traumatic experience and ultimately determines to shape her future herself. Through the compelling plot and carefully structured narrative, Khan gives voice to women whose stories are rarely heard and raises a series of complex and challenging cultural, social and moral questions.”
