La sposa ben presto avrà le mani dipinte di henné, e sfoggerà l'abito del matrimonio e i gioielli tradizionali. Ma questo non è certo il matrimonio che Bilqis aveva progettato per suo figlio: Kate viene da Melbourne, Australia. Per una donna occidentale non è affatto facile integrarsi in una realtà così esotica e complessa. Intanto il Pakistan intero è in tumulto: i mullah e i militari tengono il Paese in pugno e nel Kashmir si temono insurrezioni. Quando scopre che una ragazza della servitù, Mumtaz, si vede di nascosto con un combattente per la libertà - una relazione che minaccia di distruggere il suo onore - Bilqis si trova costretta a mettere sotto esame le sue convinzioni e le sue certezze.…
