A Place for Us is the debut novel of Fatima Farheen Mirza, published in New York on June 12, 2018.[1] It is the first book published by Sarah Jessica Parker's new imprint, SJP for Hogarth.[2][3] The novel focuses on the varied experiences of an Indian-Muslim family living in Northern California, striving to find a balance between tradition and modernity. The family of five is left to search for home in a metaphorical and literal sense. The audience is given glimpses of the family life from the beginning, from Layla finding out about Rafiq’s proposal, to the two of them arriving in America, and their three children later finding themselves stuck between living their own lives and the lives their parents and culture expect them to follow.[4][5]
