Summary:At the tender age of eighteen, Nazneen's life is turned upside down. After an arranged marriage to a man twenty years her elder she exchanges her Bangladeshi village for a block of flats in London's East End. In this new world, where poor people can be fat tand even dogs go on diets, she struggles to make sense of her existence--and to do her duty to her husband.

Until she becomes aware of a young radical, Karim.
