From the back of the book:

"Excuse me, sir, but may I be of assistance? Ah, I see I have alarmed you. DO not be frighted by my beard. I am a lover of America ..."

So speaks the mysterious stranger at a Lahore cafe as dusk settled. Invited to join him for tea, you learn his name and what lead this speaker of immaculate English to seek you out. For he is more worldly than you might expect; better travelled and better educated. He knows the West better than you do. And as he tells you his story, of how he embraced the Western dream - and a Western woman - and how both betrayed him, so the night darkens. Then the true reason for your meeting becomes abundantly clear...

After an apparently chance encounter in a Lahore marketplace with an American visitor, Changez tells his life story. Changez is an engaging storyteller who brings his story to life through the characters he encountered in America. This is thought provoking stuff.
