A fascinating view of Pakistan and its culture, viewed mainly through the eyes of Westerners - one of whom is determined to go native, not always wisely. I enjoyed this mainly for the quality of the writing, a glimpse of a foreign country I may never visit myself, rather than the plot, which I found confusing and vague. (
