Description
‘All right, I will share my deepest, darkest secret. I loved my father…like, sons love their fathers, I loved mine too. And aren’t sons forever following in their father’s footsteps? Even if those footsteps are blighted…?’
After Umer’s father leaves to join the jihadis, the family is pushed to the brink of poverty and depression, but his mother will have nothing to do with her husband. The government and charities working in Kashmir, in their better wisdom, believe it is best not to offer sustenance to the children and widows of militants. Isolated by society and trapped in adversity: Will the mother’s determination to turn her back on violence crumble? Will Umer go his father’s way? What choices will his family make?
Weed, a follow-up of the award winning No Guns at My Sons Funeral, where complex issues are examined through the innocence of a child caught in a web he never spun.
