About Book:
As An American Brat opens in Pakistan, the extended family of sixteen-year-old Feroza Ginwalla, a lively and temperamental young girl, agonises over the decision to send Feroza to America for a three-month holiday. This act of apparent audacity arises from concern over Feroza s conservative attitudes, which stem from Pakistan s rising tide of fundamentalism.
Feroza s chaperone in America, an uncle only six years her senior, is her guide, friend and the bane of her existence. Her relationships and adventures shape her alternately hilarious and terrifying perceptions of America. Feroza s family in Pakistan, meanwhile, is in delicious turmoil over the possibility that American ways will ruin her.
Her play, Sock em With Honey, based on An American Brat, played in
London and Leicester in 2003 to full houses.
