Her marriage is quickly revealed to be a sham, a trap from which there is no escape. In a world of stifling conformity, Tahira must fight for her very identity: as a woman, and as a painter. Tragedy strikes when her family and friends are caught up in the brutally repressive regime. Faced with horror and loss, she embarks upon a series of paintings entitled 'The Empty Room', filling the blank canvases with vivid colour and light. Lyric, poetic, and powerful, The Empty Room is an important addition to contemporary Pakistani literature and is a moving account of the dilemma faced by all women who must find their own creative path against the odds.
