???? UNDER THE LAMPLIGHT-

All My Rage is an emotional read as it tackles some sensitive topics: The book by Pakistani-American Sabaa Tahir masterfully depicts feelings of loss, struggle, failure, and other forms of pain — all of which give way to a proverbial rebirth, where forgiveness abounds. These emotions are evoked against the backdrop of sensitive topics like racism, substance abuse, and Islamophobia as the story follows newlyweds Misbah and Toufiq, who decide to leave their hometown in Lahore in search of a new life in the US. At the same time, All My Rage follows the second generation with a storyline focused on Misbah’s son, Salahudin, and his friendship with Noor, with whom he shares a similar racial background — and a special bond.
