Nazneen’s life is turned upside down at
the tender age of seventeen,. Forced intoan arranged
marriage to an older man, she exchanges her Bangladeshi
village home for a block of flats in London’s East
End. In this new world, pining for her home and her sister,
she struggles to make sense of her existence – and to do her
duty to her husband. A man of inflated ideas (and stomach),
he sorely tests her compliance.
Told from birth that she must not fight her fate, Nazneen
submits, devoting her life to raising her family and
slapping down her demons of discontent. Until the day that
Karim, a hot-headed local man, bursts into her life.
Against a background of escalating racial tension, they
embark on an affair that finally forces Nazneen to take
control of her life. Set in multicultural Britain, Brick
Lane is a truly contemporary story of love, cultural
difference, and ultimately, the strength of the human
spirit.
