It is 2008. Zhabed arrives from Pakistan and unwittingly creates ripples in several women's lives. Choices dangle tantalisingly in front of his neighbours. Do the women dare to branch out ? And what will be the consequences for those around them? Not a thriller, not a mystery, but an amusing and thought provoking read by a woman who lived and loved through the second wave women's movement, sampled Indian mysticism and taught in Pakistan in 2007. Retired she now lives within sight of the Pyrenees.
