The Sentiment In My Stone

The Sentiment in My Stone is an immersive tender and thoughtful portrayal of the complex and often painful relationship between a Kashmiri family living in Pakistan and their Indian relatives. Sentiments of exile longing for home patriotism and the uncertainty of tomorrow are beautifully expressed through Manzoor's storytelling. The reader journeys with him from the pages to his own life story: his childhood in Kashmir; his years at school in Lahore; the shifting fortunes of his parents' business; and his own search for a sense of belonging. Aazib Manzoor's debut novel The Sentiment in My Stone is a heart-breaking story of love and loss exploring the interconnectedness of humanity and the human condition. Written with a poet's lyrical prose and unerringly observed detail the novel follows its protagonist from his teenage years to adulthood tracing his emotional journey as he falls in love with two beautiful women who are both destined for tragic ends.
