Her life in London's Tower Hamlets is, on the surface, calm. For years, keeping house and rearing children, she does what is expected of her. Yet Nazneen walks a tightrope stretched between her daughters' embarrassment and her husband's resentments. Chanu calls his elder daughter the little memsahib. 'I didn't ask to be born here,' say Shahana, with regular finality.Into that fragile peace walks Karim. He sets questions before her, of longing and belonging; he sparks in her a turmoil that reflects the community's own; he opens her eyes and directs her gaze - but what she sees, in the end, comes as a suprise to them both.While Nazneen journeys along her path of self-realization, a way haunted by her mother's ghost, her sister Hasina, back in Bangladesh, rushes headlong at her life, first making a 'love marriage', then fleeing her violent husband. Woven through the novel, Hasina's letters from Dhaka recount a world of overwhelming adversity. Shaped - yet ultimately not bound - by their landscapes and memories, both sisters struggle to dream themselves out of the rules prescribed for them.Beautifully rendered and, by turns, both comic and deeply moving, Brick Lane establishes Monica Ali as one of the most exciting new voices in fiction. 517 $aBrick Lane 676 $a823/.92 700 $aAli$b Mo?nica$0474618 702 $aNicholl$b Kati$4oth 702 $aDharker$b Ayesha$4oth 906 $aAUDIO 912 $a9910148891703321 996 $aBrick Lane$9245895 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04251nam 2200853 a 450 001 9910791732303321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-84779-791-1 010 $a1-78170-203-9 010 $a1-84779-415-7 024 7 $a10.7765/9781847794154 035 $a(CKB)2560000000085685 035 $a(EBL)1069727 035 $a(OCoLC)818847542 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000712858 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12229358 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000712858 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10650460 035 $a(PQKB)10663806 035 $a(StDuBDS)EDZ0000086975 035 $a(OCoLC)1132667469 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse78113 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1069727 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10627225 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL843531 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1069727 035 $a(DE-B1597)659909 035 $a(DE-B1597)9781847794154 035 $a(EXLCZ)992560000000085685 100 $a20120113d2011 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|||||||nn|n 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aThis England$b[electronic resource] $eessays on the English nation and Commonwealth in the sixteenth century /$fPatrick Collinson 210 $aManchester ;$aNew York $cManchester University Press ;$aNew York $cDistributed exclusively in the USA by Palgrave Macmillan$d2011 215 $a1 online resource (329 p.) 225 0 $aPolitics, Culture and Society in Early Modern Britain 225 0$aPolitics, culture, and society in early modern Britain 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-7190-9025-3 311 $a0-7190-8442-3 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aCopyright; Contents; List of abbreviations; Acknowledgments; INTRODUCTION This England: race, nation, patriotism; 1.
