Discussion
Group
Come join the group on Monday, January 17th at 2 pm,
as we discuss Fatima Farheen Mirza’s
deeply moving and resonant story of family, identity, and belonging
A Place for Us
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.
