Harris Anwar is a British Pakistani proud of his Eastern heritage. In fact its fair to say hes proud full stop: proud he installed his own central heating; proud of his swanky blue Citroen; even proud hes owned the same Hoover for over twenty years. The only thing rivalling his pride is his Muslim sense of responsibility & obligation. He longs to do well by those dearest to him. Whether its his nineteen-year-old daughter Alia in London his cousin Nawaz & his family living on top of their burgeoning takeaway in Yorkshire or his friends & family back in Pakistan Harris feels compelled to put himself second in order to help. But theres a problem: Harris best intentions always seem to breed the worst results. & so its no surprise that when he decides to use his divorce settlement for selfless ends this small fortune brings a huge cost of its own.
