Resumen
In 1986, Pakistans greatest poet was found brutally murdered - beaten to death by government thugs.
Two years later, his lover, fearless activist Samina Akram, disappears. Her daughter, Aasmani, has always assumed her mother simply abandoned her - since she had left so many times before to follow the Poet into exile.
But now, working at Pakistans first independent TV station, Aasmani runs into an old friend of her mothers who hands her a letter written recently, in the Poet and Saminas secret code. As more letters arrive, Aasmani becomes certain that they will lead her to Samina.
Despite menacing signs, disbelief from her family and worries of her new lover, Aasmani decodes the letters and searches for their source.
But if she manages to locate it, will she find what shes looking for?
Merging the personal with the political, Broken Verses is at once a thrilling journey through modern-day Pakistan and an intimate mother-daughter story that asks how to forgive a mother who leaves.<
