IN OTHER ROOMS, OTHER WONDERS

In Other Rooms, Other Wonders by Daniyal Mueenuddin - The short stories in this book take place in Pakistan. The characters in the stories appear here and there throughout the book in different stories about other characters. We walk here with servants. We walk here with their masters. Sometimes we meet family members who don't understand the particular relationships of their parents or children. I love interconnected stories. The reader gets to know a character in one way, and then later on meets the same person in the background of a story from a totally different perspective.
A beautiful book. I wish it hadn't ended.
