Stranger To History

Stranger to History is the story of the journey Aatish made to answer these questions - starting from Istanbul, Islam`s once greatest city, to Mecca, its most holy, and then Pakistan, through Syria and Iran. Ending in Lahore, at his estranged father`s home, on the night Benazir Bhutto is killed, it is also the story of Aatish`s own divided family over the past fifty years. Part memoir, part travelogue, probling, stylish and troubling,Stranger to History is an outstanding debut.
