Women
Summary 
(extract)
Ghazala
(fourteen, 
Scottish 
Pakistani) 
and 
her 
siblings 
have 
reluctantly 
succumbed 
to 
their 
mum’s 
suicidal 
plea 
for 
her 
children 
to 
stay 
longer 
with 
her 
during 
their 
second 
visit 
since 
the 
separation. 
The 
one-bedroom 
ïŹ‚at 
is 
over-capacity 
with 
Suzy
and 
her 
non-Muslim 
boyfriend 
Lenny
, 
the 
four 
children 
and 
two 
dogs. 
During 
her 
stay 
Ghazala
quickly 
realizes 
that 
her 
mum 
has 
adopted 
a 
new 
lifestyle, 
steering 
away 
from 
a 
Muslim 
way 
of 
life 
with 
the 
expectation 
that 
her 
children 
will 
follow 
suit. 
In 
the 
extract, 
Ghazala
narrates 
how 
her 
siblings 
are 
not 
prepared 
to 
give 
up 
the 
Islamic 
way 
of 
life 
without 
a 
ïŹght.
