He loves cricket, pomegranates, his clever, vibrant, artistic mother and his etymologically obsessed lawyer father. He loves the night sky, and adores his next-door neighbour Zehradespite the fact that she seems suddenly very interested in his fourteen-year-old cousin Najam with his one chest hair. One early summer morning, while lazing happily on the roof, Hasan watches a young boy flying a yellow kite fall to his death. Soon after, Hasan's idyllic, sheltered family life is shattered when his beloved uncle Salman, a dissenting politician, is arrested and charged with treason. Brought face to face with the precariousness of the world around him, and the mortal vulnerability of those he loves, Hasan secretly resolves to save his uncle. Heavy-hearted, he questions the Oldest Man, tries out magical thinking and like Hamlet, his father's favourite character, hatches plots he can never carry through. Set in a land ruled by an oppressive military regime, this eloquent, charming and quietly political novel vividly recreates the confusing world of a young boy on the edge of adulthood, and beautifully illustrates the transformative power of the imagination. inventory #28491.
