For years she keeps house, cares for herhusband, and bears children. But gradually she questions whether fate controlsher or whether she has a hand in her own destiny. To her own amazement, shefalls in love with a young man. She discovers the complexity that comes withfree choice and the depth of her attachment to her husband, her daughters, andher new world. Profoundly humane and beautifully rendered, Brick Lane capturesa world at once unimaginable and achingly familiar.
