Moni Moshin's Tender Hooks is a delightful read. It's outright hilarious. I couldn't help laughing out load many a times. Decent and nothing over the edge. It presents the Pakistani high-society life in a slightly sarcastic way and is very entertaining.The novel is written in the form a dairy, which notes the significant political happenings that affect the country. Tender Hooks is a kind of sequel to Moshin's popular The Dairy of a Social Butterfly. Apparently, Tender Hooks features the gregarious Butterfly of the prequel.
I liked Moshin's writing so much that I'm really looking forward to read her other two works. Besides the two books I mentioned above, she also authored an award-winning novel - End of Innocence.
I discovered Tender Hooks from an article in The Hindu and am glad I did.
