Lina never wanted children, but here are two lines on the test stick. Recently orphaned and resident in Dubai, her options are limited. Her mother-in-law is delighted and interferes with every aspect of Lina's pregnancy. Her husband does nothing to help. When Lina receives proof of a horrifying family secret from Mumbai, she realises she has a choice when it comes to her baby, her marriage and her place in the world - but is it a choice she wants to make? A bittersweet yet life-affirming debut that dares to ask difficult questions about motherhood and family, Shape of an Apostrophe is an astute exploration of obedience, rebellion and the surprising persistence of love.
