We were among those hundred innocent feet wheeling through the clouds of dusts. So close that someone shouted to stop the angry phalanx from advancing the gates. We were young bloods then. Brave as a collective force ululating vignettes about homeless families, starving peasants, weak indigents, landless tribes, friends of disappeared and the exiled. [...]

I sense a dark storm is looming over. Someone told me that I should not be afraid of all the tragedy impending. Even if the winds blow me empty at will, I should not cower. There are intruders- those unwelcomed visitors breaking and entering the skin I lived in. I forgot the keys, my [...]

There’s a suitcase in the hall. And emptiness will soon occupy it. Something which kept me immobile, quite undecided to test the wind or its aged leafless trees outside where the silent pavement beckons and my own shadow as a companion. How should I, in the permanence of seasons would not be keen to [...]

She took out a folded piece of paper from her pocket. A handwritten note she would read again. Then say, “He loved me and I still believe”. “He is from Oregon, an American”. She hid this keepsake along with a photograph. Of a white man smiling, in uniform, besides a military truck. Her fingers [...]

A series of opening. Waiting. Closing. Life. It started when you came out from your mother’s womb. With a cry loud enough to rouse the world from its deep sleep. And the breaking of dawn opening the earth’s curtains like little fingers of light slipping into space, entering by the window. For the longest [...]

Brick Lane by Monica Ali
The Book
Named after Brick Lane, a street at the heart of London's Bangladeshi community — follows the life of Nazneen, a Bangladeshi woman who moves to Tower Hamlets in London at the age of 18 — her English consisting of "sorry" and "thank you" — to marry an older man, Chanu, described by The Observer as "one of the novel's foremost miracles: twice her age, with a face like a frog, a tendency to quote Hume and the boundless doomed optimism of the self-improvement junkie, he is both exasperating and, to the reader at least, enormously loveable. " Geraldine Bedell wrote in The Observer that the "most vivid image of the marriage is of her [Nazneen] cutting her husband's corns, a task she seems required to perform with dreadful regularity. [Her husband] is pompous and kindly, full of plans, none of which ever come to fruition, and then of resentment at Ignorant Types who don't promote him or understand his quotations from Shakespeare or his Open University race, ethnicity and class module".Recommended Books
