All My Rage - Sabaa Tahir

 Two young Pakistani immigrants in America in love, struggling to cope with the racism, the struggle, the cultural differences, their own families - and somehow hanging on for dear life. 'All My Rage' is a thriller in the manner that the smallest of conflicts takes on a huge significance in the course of their lives.



Sal and Noor are childhood sweethearts. Noor is a sweetheart and Sal's mom Misbah loves her to death. Sal is a complex kid, fighting with an alcoholic father, financial burdens and his dear mother's health. Noor is with her uncle who saved her from death but does not want her to go to college. Misbah knows a secret that she cannot tell and only asks for Noor's forgiveness. Sal tries to pay of debt and gets into trouble. And in all this seemingly hopeless space, one wonders if there is hope. Can they find the lives they were meant to live or will they drown and fade away?

'All my Rage' is a fast paced, emotional thriller and takes you on a ride that makes you feel for the two kids and the way they handle their lives. Did someone make  movie of this book yet?  

Read.
