It is similar to a lot of other novels coming out from Pakistan since 2000. The writer growing up in Pakistan, going to colleges in America, and to a lesser extent in Britain, coming back, and writing books in English.After the protagonist in this novel comes back from America, he narrates his life growing up, his parents' life, especially his mom's, and his grandparent's.There's quite a lot on the politics of the county, especially during the 80s and 90s. The author's focus is this upper call family and their sheltered environment. There's almost nothing on other people--their servants--their lives, their struggles. It's probably because other than the western audience, the vast majority of people in Pakistan who would read this book, will also belong to that small elite class.The flaw in this novel is that author doesn't deeply divulge into lives of characters, I felt the description of almost all the characters is at the superficial level. I didn't get to see why people did what they did, they just did it. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Mixed *by G***P on Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2011* I tend to read a lot of books, both audio and on my Kindle. This sounded like an interesting read, but I was really disappointed. It felt more like an out of order series of short stories about the same family, with brief sections trying to tie them together. I couldn't decide if the author was going for a family saga, or a history of Pakistan. Neither one hit the mark. There wasn't enough detail about the political climate, and the more detailed aspects of the story were told in reverse so it was hard to keep characters and chronology straight. If I hadn't known anything about the history of the region I think I'd have been lost a few times when the story jumped around in time.And though the characters were the emphasis, none of the characters were developed in sufficient detail to understand their motivations or really get me involved in their lives. Dialog was superficial at best.The narration of the audio book was good, but lacked emotion. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Wish Maker *by M***7 on Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2009* I ordered the book from this company, said used and in good condition. They were exactly right, and it came when they said it would. I will definitely order from them again. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/25223844-the-wish-maker](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/25223844-the-wish-maker) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
