{"product_id":"9781407194578","title":"The Love and Lies of Rukhsana Ali by Sabina Khan","description":"A timely and honest coming-of-age story that explores the complicated      relationship between identity, culture, family, and love.               Seventeen-year-old Rukhsana Ali tries her hardest to live up to her      conservative Muslim parents' expectations, but lately she's finding      that impossible to do. She rolls her eyes when they blatantly      favour her brother and saves her crop tops and makeup for parties      her parents don't know about.               If she can just hold out another few months, Rukhsana will be out      of her familial home and away from her parents' ever-watchful eyes      at Caltech, a place where she thinks she can finally be herself.         But when she is caught kissing her girlfriend Ariana, her devastated      parents take Rukhsana to Bangladesh, where everything she      had been planning is out of reach.               There, immersed in a world of tradition and arranged marriages, Rukhsana      finds the perspective she's been looking for in her grandmother's      old diary. The only question left for her to answer is:      Can she fight for the life she wants without losing her family in      the process?\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43204362698930,"sku":"9781407194578","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/products\/9781407194578_58faf86f-24b9-4b5b-913b-f747d463fb65.jpg?v=1699015146","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781407194578","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
