Pao Cajamarca paolacajam6372 — Loved it. Worth reading.

Chiara Munarin _hiara_unarin — I tried to read this book three times. Each time I made it further than the last but eventually months passed and I stopped picking it up. My biggest gripe was how pretentious the writing was. I couldn't relate to it at all, and it distracted instead of enhanced the world that these characters found themselves in.

John Wheeler infojohnph5ce7 — Still reading... So far its about a group of people who travel to China and Bhurma despite that their travel guide died two days before they plan to leave. The story is told from the perspective of the deceased tour guide, a prominent chinese business woman who was well known in the asian art museum seen in San Francisco. So far, so great...

Aidoo Harry aidoo — perhaps it's not fair to rate because I didn't exactly read the WHOLE book...i just couldn't get through it - which I think merits 1 star

Ines Silva desiresandmelodies — I had to write a review for this book to explain my rating. After reading the afterword I had to upgrade. I have so much interest in Urdu writers and the time of partition and the fact that Ismat Chughtai was considered a feminist of her time. The first part of the book is like a Pakistani Drama - very slow - but interesting - but lots and lots of details. 2nd part is a bit confusing and the 3rd is just way too fast. However, the afterward explained more about the book and the talent Ismat had and the pacing and magnificence of the book. I do think that lots is lost in translation no matter how good the translation. Idioms and references and pacing can't all come through. I am not knocking the great translation (as I've read Tahira's translations of other Chughtai work) but the fact of always losing something as culture and thought cannot always be translated. The other Chughtai stories I think I liked better because they were short stories and my western sensibility of going fast and at a pace that I could follow (whether slow, fast, etc). This is a very long book and thus my patience suffered. Again though, I wish I could read Urdu and get the real sense of the book because I can understand how great it was for the time and place.
