Brown Boy Barely Blossoms - Paperback

by Afzal Huda (Author)

Ashiq Amlani is a hopeless romantic teenager who decides to move from Pakistan to Canada to achieve the biggest mission of his young life: to lose his virginity.

Soon after he arrives, he decides that he must hide his heritage in order to fit in by changing his name, his look, and the way he talks. This coming-of-age story is an exploration of the immigrant experience, ethnic humor, and, most poignantly, self-discovery.

Brown Boy Barely Blossoms takes you on a journey where Ashiq strives to be Ash, and Ash struggles to replace Ashiq. A world where two identities clash, and a boy becomes a man.
