This is the hugely entertaining journal of a socialite in Lahore. Pakistan may be making headlines - but Butterfly is set to conquer the world. 'Everyone knows me. All of Lahore, all of Karachi, all of Isloo - oho, baba, Islamabad - half of Dubai, half of London and all of Khan Market and all the nice, nice bearers in Imperial Hotel also...No ball, no party, no dinner, no coffee morning, no funeral, no GT - Get-Together, baba - is complete without me.' Meet Butterfly, Pakistan's most lovable, silly, socialite. An avid party goer, inspired mis speller, and unwittingly acute observer of Pakistani high society, Butterfly is a woman like no other. In her world, SMS becomes S & M and people eat 'three tiara cakes' while shunning 'do number ka maal'. 'What cheeks!' as she would say. As her country faces tribulations - from 9/11 to the assassination of Benazir Bhutto - Butterfly glides through her world, unfazed, untouched, and stopped short only by the chip in her manicure. Wicked, irreverent and hugely entertaining, "The Diary of a Social Butterfly" gives you a delicious glimpse into the parallel universe of the have-musts.

About the Author:
Moni Mohsin is the author of The End of Innocence. She writes a popular column called 'Diary of a Social Butterfly' for Pakistan's Friday Times, selections of which make up this, her second book. She grew up in Lahore and now divides her time between Lahore and London, where she lives with her husband and two children.
Review:
"Light but not shallow ... Highlighting the rich-poor divide this is political as well as social satire. Funny and entertaining, Butterfly's misuse of English lifts the character off the page" * Big Issue in the North * "Witty and intelligent" * North East Lifestyle *
