Set over two decades of convulsive change, Noon is the moving
story of Rehan Tabassum, a young man whose heart is split across
two cultures' troubled divide. Rehan's mother and her new husband
are the embodiment of a dazzling, emergent India. Yet as the old,
muted order of dust and shortages recedes, Rehan finds himself
unmoored. With his father still a powerful shadow across the
border in Pakistan, Rehan's journey begins, through lands of
sudden wealth and hidden violence, in an atmosphere of political
quicksand and moral danger, towards the centre of a dark,
shifting world. Noon is a startling and incisive novel from a
brilliant young writer, uniquely placed to bear witness to some
of the most urgent questions of our times.
