Brisk, suspenseful novel about fear and its consequences, narrated by a young Pakistani Princeton grad who finds his world collapsing in the wake of 9/11. Gripping and revealing, this novel doesn’t get enough attention.

Every Saturday afternoon, she sits in their town's only Dairy Queen plotting her escape.
