 CHAPTER 2
Chapter 2Zoon talks about her mother-in-law's harsh treatment towards her to her village mates. She grew up in the midst of the saffron fields and in the shade of the chinar trees. She was not raised as a typical peasant girl. She had learnt how to read and write from the village moulvi. At an early age her father married her to a peasant boy. But this illiterate peasant boy could not keep Zoon happy. He could not understand the longings of her heart.
