BY THE ACCLAIMED WINNER OF THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION
The Dard-e-Dils are characterised by their prominent clavicles and love of stories.

There is a sting to most of these tales, for the Dard-e-Dils consider themselves cursed by their 'not-quite' twins. Amidst her growing attraction to a boy from the wrong side of the tracks, Aliya begins to believe that she is another 'not-quite' twin, linked to her scandalous aunt Mariam in a way that hardly bodes well
