1 hour ago A Splintering by Dur e Aziz Amna review – a woman’s ambitions in Pakistan

This novel fizzes with energy as it follows the parallel lives of two siblings and exposes the crushing divides of gender and classI admired Dur e Aziz Amna’s precise and lyrical first novel, American Fever; the protagonist – an exchange student from Pakistan to rural Oregon – staying with me long after I encountered her.

She has no romantic notions...
