After sixteen-year-old Emma's diplomat father takes off, her mom moves her and her siblings from Manila to Islamabad. There Emma gradually absorbs the beauty and culture of the place--and gains friends and a complicated love interest--but not before undergoing some truly harrowing experiences. The novel offers a well-balanced portrait of a complex country. A glossary of Urdu words and phrases is appended.
