Social Butterfly

review 1: Ah float like a Butterfly, sting like a bee, Duty Free is Moni Mohsin's much appreciated sequel to Diary of a Social Butterfly. Snappy, 'prada-wala' globe-trotting Butterfly can't seem to find an "illegible" bride for her 'bore' cousin. This biting social satire is stocked with malapropisms, near death misses with 'beardo-weirdos' and vicious maids. Oh and Infernally displaced Persons, erotic plants and craa-acks!
review 2: I read this novel on an airplane, and found myself chuckling out loud! In this time of suicide bombers and extreme religious fundamentalism it is a refreshing and humorous read. Written in a unique style full of malapropisms and colloquialisms ('local' Lahore English), it is a witty social commentary set amid suicide bombers and extreme re... moreligious fundamentalism (beardo-weirdos). Great summer read! less
