'Thanks God, my bore-but-rich cousin Jonkers has been dumped by his wife - a low-class, slutty secretary. My aunty is so happy you can't even imagine. Now she wants her darling son to marry again, and quickly. But this time to a suitable girl from an old family. Only problem is, she wants me to find her.
But where to start? No one can accuse me of being antisocialist, but with all these bombs-shombs and fundos and fatwas, there aren't so many Get Togethers happening in Lahore these days. And, on top, my stuppid husband keeps lecturing me that I must let Jonkers choose his own bride. He just doesn't seem to understand that good marriages are all about good baggrounds. Aren't they?'
Full of wit and wickedness and as clever as its heroine is clueless, Tender Hooks is an explosively funny romp through Pakistani high society - and the realities of living in a country that is falling apart day by day.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 249 pages. Jane Austen's Emma, transported to the outrageous social melee of 21st-centur y Lahore. Our plucky heroine's cousin, Jonkers, has been dumped by his low-clas s, slutty secretary, and our heroine has been charged with finding him a suitabl e wife -- a rich, fair, beautiful, old-family type. Quickly. But, between you, m e and the four walls, who wants to marry poor, plain, hapless Jonkers? As our h eroine social-climbs her way through weddings-sheddings, GTs (get togethers, of course) and ladies' lunches trying to find a suitable girl from the right baggro und, she discovers to her dismay that her cousin has his own ideas about his per fect mate. And secretly, she may even agree. Full of wit and wickedness and as clever as its heroine is clueless, Tender Hooks is a delightful romp through Pak istani high society -- though, even as it makes you cry with laughter, it makes you wince at the gulf between our heroine's glitteringly shallow life and the co untry that is falling apart, day by day, around her Louboutin-clad feet. Moni Mo hsin, already a huge bestseller in India, has been hailed as a modern-day Jane A usten, and compared to Nancy Mitford and Helen Fielding. Tender Hooks is social satire at its biting best.
