Rent Brick Lane

Synopsis

In BRICK LANE, after an arranged marriage, Nazneen moves with her much older husband, Chanu, from Bangladesh to London, where over the years she manages to make a place for herself in spite of her husband's inability to cope. As she gains strength from raising two feisty daughters, taking a socially committed lover, and learning to make some money herself, she is able to oppose her ineffectual husband's decision to give up and go back to Bangladesh. Shortlisted for the Booker Prize, BRICK LANE was also a New York Times Notable Book in 2003.
