The 2012 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award Quarterfinalist, this timely debut novel, based on a true story, is exhilarating and emotionally gripping. A tale of rage and betrayal, where friendship and loyalty overcome incredible odds, takes the readers deep into the historical streets of Lahore, Pakistan. This is a remarkable, heartbreaking story of a chance encounter between three runaway children, their resolve to survive on their own, and the communal bond they create to fight a common enemy. It is about enduring social injustice, facing the dangers lurking in the streets, hoping to find love even in the harshest of circumstances, and perseverance for survival. One of the few Pakistan novels to be written in English, The One Hundred tells a profound story of friendship, family, and love against the background of a true event that has not been told in fiction before. But just as it is simplistic in its narration, its dark and complicated characters depict a modern day story in a most realistic setting. As intense as it is affectionate, The One Hundred is truly a compelling debut.
