Being born the youngest in a wealthy Pakistani family was bad enough but being the youngest son was even worse.The story tells of a young manʼs driving ambition to prove to his parents that he would make a success of his life. Overshadowed by his older brother and the Muslim belief of the ʻfirst bornʼ being beyond reproach, Cuckoo struggles to find himself and establish his own identity within the family.It spans three generations and two continents. From 1939 when a young army Captain, Cuckooʼs father, meets the beautiful and ambitious Stella, to 1968 when Cuckoo leaves for London to fulfil his dreams. It informs the reader of the nomadic tribes of the ʻSilk Routeʼ, the Caste System, the tragic Partition of India and the drug consuming youth of Pakistan.It is a tale of the obsessive love of a mother for her ʻfirst bornʼ, of ambition and greed, of happiness and sorrow but most of all the rebellious life of a young boy torn between the love for his family and the love for an English Girl.
