Imagine yourself 16 and visiting the old country (Pakistan) for the summer and learning that [spoiler]. I won't say what it is, but for Zeba, raised in the UK, it's not what she would have chosen for herself, and she is shocked into paralysis. Thank blob for her grandmother Nannyma and another teen she meets who is in the same position as Zeba, but the layers of betrayal feel impossible to navigate.

Nannyma also gives an excellent (dire) presentation of how capitalism works in tandem with men's fragile egos.
