Digital Reads A Curse For True Love : the thrilling final book in the Once Upon a Broken Heart series I loved this book ... incredibly moving' Reverend Richard Coles'A treasure of a book' Fern Britton 'Full of beauty, wit and inner strength' Samira AhmedThe heart-warming memoir from the much-loved broadcasterA Pebble in the Throat is the eloquent and moving memoir of Aasmah Mir's childhood growing up in 1970s Glasgow. Totally loved this book. Maybe I am biased, Aasmah is my younger cousin. Fascinating to read her eloquent perspective of growing up in the same town as our family and attending the same school. Moving between her and her mother's life, it reveals parts of the Pakistani immigrant experience that are rarely seen on our bookshelves. Aasmah's raw, and honest account of her family life will blow you away! -- Saima Mir

It is also called ‘globus sensation’. A Pebble In The Throat is two stories told in unison. Aasmah Mir growing up in Glasgow – the place of her birth – and the upbringing of her mother in Pakistan a generation before. It is an emotional and thought-provoking narrative on what it is like to live in two very different cultures whilst all the time aware of racism, prejudice and stereotyping of gender from the 1960s onwards. Both mother and daughter fight, are defeated and triumph in different battles in this sharp and moving story.

How Scottish broadcaster Aasmah Mir found her voice in her

The narration is split between mother and daughter, each speaking in first person, and although there is clearly only one authorial voice, Mir captures authenticity in both perspectives. Aasmah and her mother are different personalities but both are spirited and engaging, offering different sides of the immigrant experience across the generational divide.

Advance Praise

Yes. Tonsil stones may be removed by a dentist, oral surgeon, or an otolaryngologist (ear, nose, and throat specialist). Intricately woven into this moving memoir is the story of Aasmah's mother, as we follow her own life as a young girl in 1950s Pakistan to 1960s Scotland and beyond. Both mother and daughter fight, are defeated and triumph in different battles in this sharp and moving story. A Pebble in the Throat is a remarkable memoir about family, identity and finding yourself where you are. Sulibhavi A, Isaacson G. TikTok tonsils.
