Charles  Washington Post Hailed as a book for our times (Christiane Amanpour)  A Place for Us
is a deeply moving and resonant story of love  identity  and belonging. As an Indian wedding
gathers a family back together  parents Rafiq and Layla must reckon with the choices their
children have made. There is Hadia: their headstrong  eldest daughter  whose marriage is a
match of love and not tradition. Huda  the middle child  determined to follow in her sister's
footsteps. And lastly  their estranged son  Amar  who returns to the family fold for the first
time in three years to take his place as brother of the bride. What secrets and betrayals have
caused this close-knit family to fracture? Can Amar find his way back to the people who know
and love him best? A Place for Us takes us back to the beginning of this family's life: from
the bonds that bring them together  to the differences that pull them apart. All the joy and
struggle of family life is here  from Rafiq and Layla's own arrival in America from India  to
the years in which their children-each in their own way-tread between two cultures  seeking to
find their place in the world  as well as a path home. A Place for Us is a book for our times:
an astonishingly tender-hearted novel of identity and belonging  and a resonant portrait of
what it means to be an American family today. It announces Fatima Farheen Mirza as a major new
literary talent.
