- Summary:
- The Mughals are a middle class family of ten living in Quetta, one of Pakistan's most culturally conservative cities. The two eldest children, Ilyas and Yasmin, are celebrating their engagements during the same week. But the two could not be more different. Ilyas is following tradition and marrying a woman he has never met. His candid comments about his engagement offer insight into the often misunderstood custom of arranged marriage, but the fear on his young bride-to-be's face tells a story in itself. Yasmin, his sister, is determined to make her own decisions. University educated, she drives a car and pursues a career in a society where women need permission to leave their home.She has chosen her own fiance, although getting her family's approval was not easy. Sibling rivalry, disapproving neighbors and lively family debate punctuate this up-close look at a family undergoing social change.
