Summary
A story of love tested to its limits by moral dilemmas, and the beauty and fragility of childhood friendships.
1964 Karachi, Pakistan. Rozeena will lose her home—her parents' safe haven since fleeing India and the terrors of Partition—if her medical career doesn't take off soon. But success may come with at a price. Meanwhile the interwoven lives of her childhood best friends—Haaris, Aalya, and Zohair—seem to be unraveling with each passing day. The once small and inconsequential differences between their families' social standing now threaten to divide them. Then one fateful night someone ends up dead and the life they once took for granted shatters.
2019 Rozeena receives a call from a voice she never thought she'd hear again. What begins as an request to look after a friend's teenaged granddaughter grows into an unconventional friendship—one that unearths buried secrets and just might ruin everything Rozeena has worked so hard to protect.
Captivating and atmospheric, Under the Tamarind Tree shows us the high-stakes ripple effects of generational trauma, and the lengths people will go to safeguard the ones they love.

Thus has to be one of my favourite reads
I was drawn to this title because of the narrator that I've spent many hours listening to. But this book does not disappoint. This is post colonial treasure that weaves the past and present so beautifully and effortlessly, bringing to life the lives of the four friends and showing the far reaching consequences that Rosies's decision to protect her 'sister' makes. It's a story about duty, determination, sacrifice and above all love and the different forms that it takes in the protagonist's life. The story is beautifully written, the narration superb and I am eagerly awaiting the next novel from a truly talented writer. I wouldn't be surprised if Under the Tamarind Tree became a best seller.

It didn’t draw me in
This book had amazing reviews and after listening to the sample I thought I was going to enjoy it but I gave up as it just wasn’t doing it for me
