The blurb says:

"Nazneen, raised in a Bangladeshi village, carries her sense of fatalism across continents to London, where she is married of to Chanu, a man old enough to be her father. For years she keeps house, cares for her husband, and bears children. But gradually she questions whether fate controls her or whether she has a hand in her own destiny. To her own amazement, Nazneen falls in love with a young man. She discovers the complexity that comes with free choice and depth of her attachment to her husband, her daughters, and her new world."
