An American Brat

A paperback novel with a glossy cover. The cover features a band of purple flowers across the top of the page and a green, striped piece of fabric fluttering in what seems to be a gust of wind on a watercolor green background. The cover reads "Bapsi Sidhwa An American Brat a novel "A remarkable sketch of American society as seen and experienced by modern immigrants." –Los Angeles Times Book Review". The novel follows a lively and temperamental young Pakistani girl named Feroza Ginwalla as she travels to America with her uncle, who is only six years older, as her chaperone. It examines America and the people within it from the perspective of a young woman, coming-of-age, after escaping a rising tide of fundamentalism in Pakistan.
