Another Gulmohar Tree

Aamer Hussein was born in Karachi, Pakistan, in 1955, and moved to London in 1970. He is the author of five collections of short stories: Mirror to the Sun (1993), This Other Salt (1999), Turquoise (2002), Cactus Town: Selected Stories (2003) and Insomnia and Other Stories (2007). He is also the editor of Kahani: Short Stories by Pakistani Women (2005) and the author of the novella Another Gulmohur Tree (2009).

Usman, a writer, is visiting post-war London from Pakistan, when he meets a young aspiring artist called Lydia. The common bond of their failed marriages draws these lonely strangers together, but just as their friendship begins to blossom into something deeper Usman has to return to Karachi, leaving Lydia behind.
Two years later, Lydia impulsively abandons her life in London and boards a ship to Karachi, where the two are married. But as the years pass by Usman feels a distance growing between them, one which becomes increasingly difficult to bridge.
Weaving together timeless fables and a modern tale, in turns wry and unashamedly romantic, Another Gulmohar Tree is a heart-warming account of a marriage marked by enduring love.
