In Suzanne Fisher Staples: The Setting Is the Story, Megan Lynn Isaac explores the award-winning novels of this unique writer." "The book is comprised of eight chapters - one exploring each of Staples's works (six novels and a memoir) and an additional chapter detailing the critical reception of her most famous books, the Pakistani trilogy (Shabanu, Haveli, and The House of Djinn). Isaac considers the predominant themes, characters, and settings of each work and provides background information about the countries, religions, art forms, and other aspects of the cultures of south Asia that are central to Staples's writing. Biographical information about Staples, both in chronological and narrative form, is also included, along with original material from Isaac's interviews with the novelist, as well as a comprehensive bibliography of scholarly material."--BOOK JACKET.
