On a sunny day in 2001, Daya, a ballet student, is sitting in a park in
Wales far away from her home in India. She is about to meet Aaftab,
a young Muslim lawyer from Pakistan,
and fall devastatingly in love.
Though Aaftab battles his heart, their relationship quickly
transcends the divides of religion, nationality and language.
But even as they forge profound bonds, the cataclysmic events of the
year will have dangerous ramifications and push them to confront the
most difficult complexities of their lives.
Set in a world of students but breathtaking in its expansiveness,
The Heart Asks Pleasure First is a spellbinding first novel that speaks
urgently to the frailties of our times.
Karuna Ezara Parikh humanizes the big themes of friendship and
family, migration and xenophobia, with the deftness of a poet and the
magic of a born storyteller.
