A fascinating story • • • • • (bewertet mit 5 von 5 Punkten) Brick Lane is an amazing story of Nazneen, a Bangladeshi female immigrant who moved to a Bangladesh community in London as a young woman and wife of an old man. Through her, the author successfully captured the Bengali traditions and the clash their contradictions upon the Islamic religion. The misconceptions Bengalis and many other Islamic people have vis-Ã -vis their religion and culture incompatibilities is vividly portrayed in this book. Hindu practices, traditions and culture are intertwined with Islam to give it a different blend. Nazreen gets married to Chanu through an arranged marriage where she had no choice, thereby cementing her destiny as a housewife. But then the reader soon finds that docile and obedient Nazreen's resigned life is interrupted now and then by her rebellious thoughts, a rebellious side that is unveiled when the path of the attractive radical named Karim crosses he path. This fast paced novel is rich in plot and has a fascinating setting. I highly recommend it along with THE USURPER AND OTHER STORIES. Also recommended: Disciples of Fortune, The Union Moujik, Kaffir Boy Eine Rezension von "sancho_111"
