A worldclass tale of love and deceit, rivalry and destiny from the Lahorebased writer Uzma Aslam Khan. Standing in a room with eight thousand tiny creatures, witnessing them perform a dance that few humans even knew occurred this was life. Everywhere she looked, each caterpillar nosed the air like a wand and out passed silk When Dia watched one spin, she came closer to understanding the will of God than at any other time. Dia is the daughter of a silk farmer, Riffat an innovative, decisive businesswoman. Like her mother, Dia seems at first sight unrestricted, spirited and resourceful. She seems free. But freedom has its own borders, patrolled by the covetous and the zealous, and there are those who yearn to jump the fence. Daanish has come back to Karachi for his fathers funeral, all the way from America, a land where there are plenty of rules but few restrictions. When Dia and Daanish meet, they chafe against all the formalities. It is left to a handful of silkworms, slipped inside a friends dupatta, tickling skin, to rupture the fragile peace of both their houses to make the space in which Dia and Daanish can create something together
