My Feudal Lord

Product Information

Her at last was someone who had succeeding in reconciling her faith in Islam with her ardent belief in women's rights. Mustafa’s divorce with Sherry, when the initial glitter started to worn off, Tehmina began to sense her new husband’s mercurial state of nature.

She continuously strived to justify her choices rather than telling the story with complete honesty. It does not come off as a wolf-sheep combination at all for me to be entirely sympathetic to her ordeal. Durrani said that the story is factual, with some names and events altered to protect the identity of the women who are at the center of the story.

My feudal lord was just an ordinary Any pakistani household story, with Only politics making it little special.

Being a life story, this book is bound to be judged not by its writing style or the author's literary skills, but by the surmised virtues of the characters involved. You know what they say behaviourism and how relationships are built with other people can be determined by our early relations with our parents. A review of the book contracts by the English newspaper The Independent described Sethi as acting in good faith and described him and Mohsin as "the injured party". I give it two stars purely on the basis of Durrani living and surviving an interesting, yet deeply tragic life, and having the courage to speak out as she has.Which is why one of the reasons I liked reading this book was the historical perspective it provided. Durrani's second book, A Mirror to the Blind, is the biography of Abdul Sattar Edhi, [21] who was Pakistan's highly decorated social worker.

As a reaction to her expository book, her family on both the paternal and maternal sides disowned her and her five children for thirteen years. She was an adulteress and was cursed for breaking sherry's marriage with mustafa, at the time when sherry was pregnant. Though her accounts of Mustafa Khar are generally perceived as false accusations (Some say it's too depressing to be true), I rather found it easy to relate to Durrani as a real women. Exhibiting a native canniness, Mustafa used the power of his office to re-establish his financial position.When Pakistan publishers balked at the controversial nature of her manuscript, she published it herself. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. stars is because I disliked the way she pitied Mustafa, sympathized his situations, helped him time and time again.

Tehmina kept blaming her younger sister for ruining her marriage instead of saving and protecting her baby sister from Khar’s clutches as a responsible sister should have done.

This book was Tehmina's way to relieve the guilt and it was written in a way to show the world mustufa's cruelty, for instance she started wearing white clothes out of her own choice, on discussing this with mustufa he gave no response and she put it as, he wanted me to appear unattractive to men. Is anyone surprised that she is now married to another "Lion of Punjab", and no less a feudal lord, Shahbaz Sharif? Whatever future Durrani carved out for herself - whether one agrees or disagrees with her choices (she has every right to do as she pleases), whether she is a true champion of women's rights (I don't) - this remains an important book - and I'm proud of it. The political infidelity, the mere play of words and melodrama are already the sad realities of our country's political situations, but for men that identify with such duplicity, hypocrisy and instability to have rule and power adds to the readers' disappointment.
