The Marvelous Mirza Girls
“The Mirza girls hit Delhi—that’s a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.” After Noreen’s Aunt Sonia dies, Noreen stops writing her funny scripts, and isn’t excited about graduation or college. When her mom, Ruby, is offered a work opportunity in New Delhi, Noreen comes along, hoping India can solve her grief and bring her voice back. In the world’s most polluted city, Ruby is thrown into work and Noreen struggles with being a girl who looks Indian but is Pakistani-American and three generations removed, and a woman constantly subjected to the male gaze. Soon, Noreen meets kind, handsome Kabir, who introduces her to the jinn and other Delhi wonders. But when a scandal erupts, they all must face the complicated questions of what it means to stand by someone—and what are love’s boundaries? With help from Bollywood celebrities, fourteenth-century ruins, karaoke party conversations, and Sufi saints, Noreen learns that no matter where you are, your path is lit by the lamp of your own heart.
