In this young adult debut set in Saudi Arabia where the law forbids romantic relationships outside of marriage two teens fall in love with tragic consequences.
Sixteen-year-old Zarin Wadia is many things: an Indian girl a bright and vivacious student an orphan a troublemaker whose romantic entanglements are the subject of endless gossip among the girls in her school. 'You don't want to get involved with a girl like that' they say. So how is it that Porus a Parsi boy has only ever had eyes for her? And how did Zarin and Porus end up dead in a car together crashed on the side of the highway in Jeddah Saudi Arabia? When the religious police arrive everything everyone thought they knew about Zarin is called into question.
