“I came home from that summer in Karachi and London – head swimming with the voices of a reconstructed past, full of a self-importance I couldn’t wait to share – only to find that my family had been busy arranging the future in my absence. Ameena’s future, at any rate.”
– p. 146 of The Writing on My Forehead by Nafisa Haji –
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along!
Just do the following:
- Grab your current read
- Open to a random page
- Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
- BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
- Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
my books. my life. 
Wow, that’s quite a teaser! Makes you wonder about the family dynamic.

Ah, it sounds familiar. I’ve dealt with the same feelings after coming home from living abroad. I’m curious about who Ameena is, though – and what her future is. Great teaser!

I occasionally look at your tweets and discovered one which said that you were researching on laws applying to horses 🙂 That looks really fascinating! Didn’t know where to comment, and so am doing that here. Is this a normal day for you (researching on law pertaining to horses), or is this one of those exotic tasks?

No that is not a normal task for me. But you never know what the day will bring you as an attorney.
And you should join twitter – then you can comment there. 🙂

Interesting to know that – it is nice when the day is filled with surprises (of the interesting kind) 🙂
I am tempted to join Twitter, but I am scared that I will keep looking at it all day without doing anything else 🙂 Thanks for the suggestion though. I will definitely think about it.
