Aisha Sarwari was told, love and devoted acts of service will always light the way. These, however, become the very reason of her complete unravelling.
Heart Tantrums, an honest and multilayered memoir, artfully describes the scatter of catastrophic losses suffered by the author-losing her father in early adolescence; leaving behind her family home in East Africa; and trying to fit into a completely different culture in Lahore after marriage. In 2017, when Aisha first held the brain MRI report of her husband, Yasser Latif Hamdani, against the light, she realized that she had also begun to lose the man she loved to a personality-altering brain tumour.
Oscillating between being a good woman and a bad woman, Aisha has been adamant that the hard knocks of life will not define her. But even self-respect comes at a high price. This book rejects the idea that love and domestic servitude can save the day.
Heart Tantrums is a prayer on a page, with this immigrant girl finding her way in the dark through a raw and magnificently told story of grief, hybrid identity, immigration woes, systemic family oppression, caregiver fatigue and, of course, what every good work of literature tries hard to hack away at the terror of oblivion.
