The Lost Pearl

The Lost Pearl by Lara Zuberi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

They lost Pearl takes one on journey through times not too long ago in one girls transition to womanhood with a secret, an emotional childhood, and a fear that has followed her through adulthood.

Zuberi, brings such a wonderful masterpiece in the sense of words that tell a very captivating story. I have never read anything fiction/novel regarding Pakistan and the struggle of that country. It was quite an eye-opening experience with a great story-line.

The author has a very good choice of words display the memories of a child's first interaction with her sibling. The word phrasing or artistry of words that the authors chose to use displayed an incredible amount emotion that was going on at the time.

The raw emotions that the author presents in her life for her friends and her love is astounding and really touches gives a vivid picture to the reader of how things were for Pakistani woman in those times of war. The nervousness, the pain, the remembrance is emoted through the authors words; I felt that this book displayed itself just as if it were a movie. There are no dull points in the book; it grabs you at the beginning and is simply an exciting ride through the very end. Simply amazing!

I didn't want to put this book down. The raw emotion that Zuberi wrote had me truly captivated. Watching the main character grow and how all the puzzle pieces of the troubled family, to experiencing true friendship, a love life and having to go through all this with a mystery in the background. Simply amazing and I cannot wait to experience more writings from Lara Zuberi in the future
