Set against the dramatic landscapes of northern Pakistan, the story follows Zaitoon, a young girl orphaned during the Partition of India who is adopted by Qasim, a man from a tribal community in the mountains.\u003cbr\u003eAs Zaitoon grows older, Qasim arranges her marriage to a man from his native tribe. However, her hopes for a happy future are shattered when she encounters the harsh realities of tribal customs, domestic violence, and rigid expectations surrounding women's obedience and honor. Determined to escape an oppressive marriage, Zaitoon embarks on a dangerous struggle for survival and independence.\u003cbr\u003eThrough Zaitoon's experiences and the parallel story of Carol, an American woman living in Pakistan, Sidhwa examines the complexities of gender, culture, power, and relationships across different societies.\u003cbr\u003eBlending literary fiction, historical fiction, social commentary, and emotional drama, The Pakistani Bride explores themes of female empowerment, cultural identity, oppression, courage, survival, and resilience. The novel offers a thought-provoking portrayal of women's experiences and the conflict between individual freedom and traditional expectations.\u003c\/h5\u003e","brand":"Bapsi Sidhwa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67625820291254,"sku":null,"price":795.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/1794\/2710\/files\/94733.jpg?v=1791802068","url":"https:\/\/booksvilla.com.pk\/products\/the-pakistani-bride","provider":"Booksvilla.pk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
