About A
Girl Like That…
Zarin Wadia is 16, a bright and vivacious student,
an orphan, a troublemaker whose romantic entanglements are the subject of
endless gossip amongst the girls in her class. When she is found dead after a
car accident on the Al-Harameen Expressway in Jeddah, with a Parsi boy who is
not a student at Qala Academy, the religious police arrive and everything
everyone thought they knew about Zarin is called into question.
A Girl Like That explores the themes of love, prejudice and gender discrimination
in India and Saudi Arabia – two countries that are struggling to hold on to
their traditions even as they adapt to a rapidly changing world – countries
where female virtue is still inextricably linked to family honour.
Farrar Straus Giroux is publishing A Girl Like That February 27, 2018.
It’d be great if we could make it a bestseller the day it comes out. Visit
Tanaz’ website here for pre-order
information. ~ Brian
