About this audiobook
Set in Lahore, This House of Clay and Water explores the lives of two women.
Nida, intelligent and lonely, has married into an affluent political family and is desperately searching for meaning in her life, while impulsive, lovely Sasha, from the ordinary middle class, willingly consorts with rich men who can satisfy her frantic longing for designer labels and upmarket places. Nida and Sasha meet at the famous Data Sahib Dargah and connect—their need to understand why their worlds feel so alien and empty bringing them together.
On her frequent visits to the dargah, Nida also meets the gentle, flute-playing hijra Bhanggi, who sits under a Bargadh tree and yearns for acceptance and affection, but is invariably shunned. A friendship—fragile, tentative, and tender—develops between the two, both exiles within their own lives; but it flies in the face of all convention and cannot be allowed.
Faiqa Mansab’s accomplished and dazzling debut novel explores the themes of love, betrayal, and loss in the complex, changing world of today’s Pakistan.
