Resumen:

The Wish Maker : In middle-class Lahore, the fatherless Zaki Shirazi has grown up in an unusual Muslim family, a family of women. The matriarchs of his world - his mother, his paternal grandmother, and the sharp-eyed servant woman - are strong and outspoken. In this household, Zaki and his female cousin, Samar Api, are raised to consider themselves "part of the same litter," but as adolescence approaches, the cousins' fates diverge: Samar's unconventional behavior brings severe consequences for her, while Zaki is sent to discover the world for himself. It is only after years of separation from Samar, on returning home for a family wedding, that Zaki is forced to confront the true nature of happiness, selfhood, and commitment to those he loves most.
