Nadeem Aslam

Cards for Lost Lovers is a novel by British-Pakistani writer Nadeem Aslam. This is an exceptional and rarely refined novel.

The story centers on a search for missing lovers, but the search for them in concentric circles exposes and dissects the complex web of relationships that weaves through the Pakistani immigrant working-class community in an unnamed northern English town. Aslam's prose captivates with its enchanting imagery, its abundance of strange narrative devices, and its dark content: at once Shakespearean and shockingly typical, this story, both beautiful and terrifyingly real, is born of the agony of love and pain. After a decade in the making, Cards for Lost Lovers has been met with critical acclaim and reader delight. Critics and readers alike have loved its poetic imagination, its richly imagined characters, and its powerful portrayal of the traumatic immigrant experience.
