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.

Worth buying. Makes reading in low light so much easier.
Bought this for my sister who loves reading before bedtime. She absolutely loves it! The light quality is very smooth. highly recommended.
I carry this with every book I take on the go. It’s slim, lightweight, and clips easily into my book. The adjustable brightness modes are excellent, especially during travel and study sessions.
This little LED lamp has changed my late night reading routine. The light is soft on my eyes and bright enough to read comfortably without disturbing anyone. Love the rechargeable feature no batteries to replace.
Great Book.
