What you need to know before your trail
A life hiding her heartbreak. A message that will change her world.
To strangers that pass her on the streets of Lahore, Mona Ahmed lives a life to be envied. Married to wealthy businessman Bilal, with happily married children and living in a vast home with staff to attend to her every desire, she seems to want for nothing.
But behind the gilded exterior lies a past of secrets and heartbreak. While they may have weathered the storm of Mona’s infidelity, with Bilal embracing the child born out of that secret love affair, their marriage remains shaky.
While Mona’s heart is broken with memories of her lost soulmate, she hides her pain behind becoming the perfect wife, hosting glamorous, high-profile gatherings for the rest of Lahore’s high society, keeping up appearances for fear of inviting gossip.
Each day has the same slow, regular rhythm… until the first message arrives, and everything in Mona’s life changes in an instant. Will the secrets of Mona’s past threaten her future, her marriage and even her life?

Lahore
There is such a contrast to cities like Lahore – rich and poor live side by side. The very rich as in this novel are a model apart and this is the kind of view we get in this novel. From the glitzy streets and gardens to the poorer part of town, this is a visit mostly in the poshest part of the city.
Gulberg and the Royal Fort are places in the novel that are definately worth a visit.
Oh and if you can get to Lahore fashion week as in the novel – sounds like a good place to go!
