The Wish Maker is a tale of sacrifice, betrayal and indestructible friendship from a major new voice in international fiction.  Zaki Shirazi and his female cousin Samar Api were raised to consider themselves apart of the same litter. Growing up together in contemporary Pakistan, they watched American television and memorized dialogue from Bollywood movies, attended dangerous protests, and formed secret friendships. In a household run by Zakias crusading political journalist mother and iron-willed grandmother, it was impossible to imagine a future that could hold anything different for either of them. But adolescence approaches and the cousins' fates diverge.  Told with warmth and humor, The Wish Maker is a startling debut.
