After an arranged marriage to Chanu, a man twenty years older, Nazneen is taken to London, leaving her home and heart in the Bangladeshi village where she was born. Her new world is full of mysteries. How can she cross the road without being hit by a car (an operation akin to dodging raindrops in the monsoon)? What is the secret of her bullying neighbor Mrs. Islam? What is a Hell's Angel? And how must she comfort the na‹ve and disillusioned Chanu?
As a good Muslim girl, Nazneen struggles to not question why things happen. She submits, as she must, to Fate and devotes herself to her husband and daughters. Yet to her amazement, she begins an affair with a handsome young radical, and her erotic awakening throws her old certainties into chaos.
Monica Ali's splendid novel is about journeys both external and internal, where the marvellous and the terrifying spiral together.

写的很真实，很不错。细索的小细节，一件一件小事构成了生活的全部。教授上课说：It's easy to be a hero, because it is always a hero of sometime. It is much harder to be a decent person all the time.
评分我下学期还选了post-colonialism theory的课程啊。。。希望Kipling能够让我好过一点。故事情节都还挺引人入胜的，但还是不习惯Indian English fiction的风格，读起来有困难。刚看了有读过的人说西方高评价是因为cultural displacement，这一点非常赞同。This book tortures me!
评分这本书在西方评价高的可怕 我却觉得是他们太无知 文化的冲击 只有没有文化的人才觉得是个多么大的事儿
