In an unnamed town Jugnu and his lover Chanda have disappeared. Telling the story of the next twelve months, Maps for Lost Lovers opens the heart of a family at the crossroads of culture, community, nationality and religion, and expresses their pain in a language that is arrestingly poetic. Rumours abound in the close-knit Pakistani community, and then on a snow-covered January morning Chanda's brothers are arrested for murder.
(Independent on Sunday). "This is a deeply pastoral novel, tied to the seasons and resonating with birdsong...Like Aslam, I was heartbroken when the dense, dark tapestry was finished". "Despite the violence that lies at the heart of the novel, it is a celebration of love and life.
Sights and sounds, smells and colours are not so much vivid backdrops for the narrative as structural, mood- and texture-enhancing parts of it...This is that rare sort of book that gives a voice to those voices that are seldom heard". (Observer).
