On a year-long exchange program in rural Oregon, a Pakistani student, sixteen-year-old Hira, must swap Kashmiri chai for volleyball practice and try to understand why everyone around her seems to dislike Obama. A skeptically witty narrator, Hira finds herself stuck between worlds. The experience is memorable for reasons both good and bad; a first kiss, new friends, racism, Islamophobia, homesickness. Along the way Hira starts to feel increasingly unwell until she begins coughing up blood, and receives a diagnosis of tuberculosis, pushing her into quarantine and turning her newly established home away from home upside down.

American Fever is a compelling and laugh-out-loud funny novel about adolescence, family, otherness, religion, the push-and-pull of home. It marks the entrance on the international literary scene of the brilliant fresh voice of Dur e Aziz Amna.

amusing, touching and thoughtful. A student trip from Pakistan to America told with, on the one hand brutal honesty, and on the other compassion. The protagonists student self is young and quick to judge, and the book is made so much richer by the reflections of her older self looking back.

Very difficult to listen to, the narrator's voice is so boring and even, you can hardly figure out when the dialogue takes place and when the speakers change.
