Summary
Random House presents the audiobook edition of A Place for Us by Fatima Farheen Mirza, read by Deepti Gupta and Sunil Malhotra.
A Place for Us catches an Indian Muslim family as they prepare for their eldest daughter’s wedding. But as Hadia’s marriage - one chosen of love, not tradition - gathers the family back together, there is only one thing on their minds: can Amar, the estranged younger brother of the bride, be trusted to behave himself after three years away?
A Place for Us tells the story of one family, but all family life is here. Rafiq and Layla must come to terms with the choices their children have made while Hadia, Huda and Amar must reconcile their present culture with their parents’ world, treading a path between old and new. And they must all learn how the smallest decisions can lead to the deepest betrayals.
This is a novel for our times: a deeply moving examination of love, identity and belonging that turns our preconceptions over one by one. It announces Fatima Farheen Mirza as a major new literary talent.
Critic reviews
"To be taken hostage by Fatima Mirza’s heartrending and timely story is a gutting pleasure.... She captures your mind and heart with an urgency that defies you to stop reading. I guarantee you will be different when you close the book." (Sarah Jessica Parker)
"Beautiful, intimate, tender. So vividly told the characters live and breathe." (Rachel Joyce)
"A brilliant, highly readable contemporary tale of identity and belonging." (Elle)

Loved it
Loved this book, the narrators really brought it to life, so many aspects of it reminded me of my childhood. The author has a beautiful way of capturing the small details. Story was well paced and I just loved it would listen again.

A simple story beautifully written.
I didn’t want it to end. I chose this book as it’s the first of Hogarth’s publications in partnership with SJP. Her recommendation was enough but I enjoyed it so much. It’s a story of a family. I use the word ‘simple’ in my headline because it’s the beauty of the writing, the descriptions and the warmth that stand out. The story is a part of it. I hope that makes sense and that you enjoy it as much as I did.
