At age sixteen, Fahad hopes to spend the summer with his mother in London. His father, Rafik, has other plans: hauling his son to Abad, the family's feudal estate. Rafik wants to toughen up his sensitive boy, to teach him about power, duty, family to make him a man. He enlists Ali, a local teenager, in this project, hoping his presence will prove instructive.

Instead, over the course of one hot, indolent season, attraction blooms between the two boys, and Fahad finds himself seduced by the wildness of the land and its inhabitants: the people, who revere and revile his father in turn; cousin Mousey, who lives alone with a man he calls his manager; and most of all, Ali, who threatens to unearth all that is hidden.

Decades later, Fahad is living abroad when he receives a call from his mother summoning him home. His return will force him to face the past. Taymour Soomro's Other Names for Love is a tale of masculinity, inheritance, and desire set against the backdrop of a country's troubled history, told with uncommon urgency and beauty.

Arvustused

A beautiful novel on the desire to leave and the hope to remain, the need to find oneself among one's people and away from them -- HISHAM MATAR, author of The Return An exceptional novel about fathers and sons, desire and love, and the long reach of the past -- SUNJEEV SAHOTA, author of China Room Such a deftly told and evocative story of duty, masculinity and desire -- KAMILA SHAMSIE, author of Home Fire A twenty-first century variation of Turgenev's Fathers and Sons... Taymour Soomro is a thrilling new addition to international literature -- YIYUN LI, author of Must I Go This haunted, haunting novel is about the cruelties we commit in our search for freedom and the bonds from which we can never be free.

Other Names For Love feels both new and ancient... A masterful debut -- ALEXANDER CHEE, author of Queen of the Night An elegant and affecting story about love... Other Names for Love probes the mystery of who we are by looking at the places (our homelands and wherever we flee to) and people (our parents and lovers) that forge us -- RUMAAN ALAM, author of Leave the World Behind A compact book bursting with emotion, it leaves you eager for whatever this already vastly accomplished author will do next * Daily Mail * [ Soomro's] insights - into class, power, masculinity, desire, shame and filial duty - are fresh and nuanced... [ he] is thrillingly attuned to the hum and growl of his characters' moods... Other Names for Love announces an author of great promise * Times Literary Supplement *
