Aisha Saeed’s debut, Written in the Stars, is a gorgeous demonstration of just how much of this power a book can possess. It’s the story of Naila, a daughter of Pakistani immigrants who adheres to almost every rule set out for her—the one exception being that she has a boyfriend (the utterly lovely Saif), though she is not allowed to date. After catching her on a date with Saif, her parents sweep the entire family away to Pakistan , ostensibly to reconnect as a family and show Naila her roots.

But when Naila learns the trip is a farce and is in fact intended to marry her off, she’ll have to go to desperate measures to reclaim her life, no matter the cost. Written in the Stars is a master class in high stakes and tension; don’t be surprised if you find yourself reading the entire thing in one sitting. But not only has Saeed crafted a great read in terms of premise, pacing, and sympathetic characters, she’s also written a true “window book,” inviting readers into the beauty and complex culture of Pakistan, the country from which her own family hails. Thanks to some incredible dumb luck, I happened to win a giveaway of an annotated Advanced Reader’s Copy of the book the author gave away on her blog, and so got to see which scenes really recalled her own experiences. Having loved getting this insight, I asked if she wouldn’t mind sharing some of the same information with the B&N Teen Blog. Here’s Aisha Saeed to do just that. Written in the Stars See All Formats & Editions ›

1. In Written in the Stars, Naila’s aunt teaches her how to smoke hookah. With all its different flavors, from double apple to grape to mint, hookah and hookah shops have become trendy in the United States. In Pakistan, there were no flavors to hookah and smoking hookah was not trendy or fashionable at all; it was simply an alternative to smoking cigarettes and was looked down upon as something villagers did. With the growing popularity of hookah in the United States, though, hookah is now looked at differently in Pakistan as well, with a rise in hookah smoking in more cosmopolitan areas. (PSA: Hookah is definitely interesting, but the health effects aren’t—just one hookah session can be the equivalent of consuming 100 cigarettes.) 2. Pakistan is a country the size of Texas, but as the sixth most populated country in the world, it contains within itself a great deal of diversity among its people—and its cuisine. Written in the Stars is set in the Punjab region of Pakistan, and the food distinct to that region is very different from that of other parts of Pakistan.

For example, when people think of South Asian food they often think of biryani, a rice dish infused with spices and saffron, but biryani is not native to the Punjab region. My own family is Punjabi, and I never ate biryani until I grew older and met people from other parts of Pakistan who ate it regularly. All the cuisine described in Written in the Stars is food you would find in many households in the Punjab region. 3. Chai, also known as tea, features prominently in Written in the Stars. Despite the intense heat that can fall upon the country, chai is usually served daily in most Pakistani households, typically multiple times a day. There are as many variations of chai as there are people, but the common elements of chai is that black tea leaves and milk are always part of the recipe. (PSA: “Chai tea” has become popular in the west, but it makes many South Asians glance at the menu askance because it’s literally just saying the word tea twice. To appear in the know, simply call it chai!)

4. Because of the truncated nature of Naila’s wedding, the full Pakistani wedding extravaganza did not happen in Written in the Stars. Pakistani weddings have a minimum of three days of different events. While weddings are a big deal everywhere, in Pakistan there’s so much pressure put on weddings that people go deeply into debt funding them. The rise of bankruptcy because of weddings became so problematic the government of Pakistan banned serving meals at weddings beyond light appetizers and dessert. The first official wedding day is called the mehndi. At the mehndi, the bride dresses simply and wears no makeup. Henna is applied in intricate patterns to her hands, arms, and sometimes her feet. Sometimes the groom’s name is woven into the pattern for the bride and groom to find together on their wedding night. This practice may stem from the fact that brides and grooms don’t often know each other when getting married, so this hiding of the name in the bride’s hands and arms is kind of an icebreaker for them to overcome their shyness.

The second wedding day is the shaadi. This is when the nikkah (consent to the marriage and signing of marriage papers) takes place and the bride is dressed in all her wedding gold and finery. Traditionally in Pakistan, in the sort of ceremony that Naila has, the bride and groom are actually not in the same room at the time of their wedding. (Perhaps if Naila and her husband, Amin, had been in the same room, Amin may have seen how badly she didn’t want to marry him.) The shaadi is also when the bride leaves her parental home for her married home. The ceremony of leaving one’s home to enter a new home is called a ruxati. It is a very emotional ceremony with a lot of tears. The person crying the most is usually the bride. )This is yet another reason Naila’s in-laws didn’t realize that she was unhappy with the marriage arrangement.) The third wedding day is called the walima. It is a celebration of the consummation of the marriage and is hosted by the groom’s family rejoicing in the happy union.
