Pakistani Women and their Lifestyle Described in New Book

The world of the far East is one that is unknown to many. One author, Abdullah, has decided to write about the confessions and betrayals of Pakistani women, `like it really is`, living in a South Asian country where societal rules prevail. Although the book is classified as fiction, the rules and laws described are all real.

Abdullah writes each story with passion and soul, drawing the reader deep into the feelings of the women. Reading Beyond the Cayenne Wall gives an insight and understanding that regardless of where women live, they have the same feelings that any of us would have if in the same situation. After reading each story, one finds themselves contemplating and comparing our Western way of life to theirs, being grateful for the freedom we have.

In another narrative, Abdullah tells us how the bride, who is not able to produce a male offspring within a short time of an arranged marriage, is ostracized and blamed. Life for many women, especially in the rural areas, becomes an existence that many of us in the Western world cannot relate to. Yet, deep inside these women clash with the realities of their existence and the knowing that things are different outside their realities, often yearning for a different way of life but being trapped within their culture.
