This is actually the real world of modern Karachi as seen through the eye of a woman within an elite family. Here are the hidden dramatic realities of top of the class, the undertow of religious beliefs, revealing the truth sometimes spoken in hushed whispers, more regularly swept away by the flourish of silk saris at luxurious dinner parties...or simply never mentioned whatsoever. Often tragic, always younger looking, yet never what those in the Western expect, within fully realized first-person prose are the lives of Ayla, the protagonist, and her restrictions and customs, as well as those of her friends: Alia, oppressed by her rich, overly traditional parents, and Tanzeela, an adolescent trapped within an abusive arranged relationship. From silk saris to bombings; from fundamentalism to American sympathy; from Dior makeup to needy poverty; from erotic maltreatment to religious taboos, the world of Ayla, in her overdue teens, battling in the real world of modern-day Pakistan, is anything but simple. Silk Tether is a revealing, truthful, poignant novel destined to become a must-listen by westerners seeking to understand the complicated world of Islamic fundamentalist countries.
