Book synopsis

Anish is an innocent naive girl trapped in an arranged marriage to Akram, an abusive man, whilst still in love with Badal. Carma is a beautiful proud woman from India who comes to London in order to escape her first husband's cruelty by marrying a man who she believes to be kind and compassionate. Kismet is set in a prison in England where both women relive the tragic incidents that had resulted in their imprisonment and where they attempt, at the same time, to untangle their emotions. Kismet highlights the various forms of oppression suffered by women in London and India. It unfolds racism in the judicial system in England and corruption in the Pakistan and Indian judicial system whilst illustrating the harsh ethos of prison culture.
