Great post as usual. I love your writing and POVs.
I have since the inception of QH believed that of all the characters, Zoya needed the most growth, which has not happened yet. Asad's character has grown and changed monumentally especially after the Tanveer tragedy, but Zoya is still the same a good hearted child woman, living in fantasy world, apparently not having learnt much from her own recent trials.
Zoya has never been responsible for anything or anybody. Yes she has had the pain of growing up without her parents but still was protected, sheltered and pampered by her Aapi & Jiju. She does not have the maturity or sense and sensitivity of dealing with volatile broken families. Her way of dealing with hard situations is to run away and avoid the circumstances rather than face them head on like Asad does.
Besides growing up in New York has not equipped her with the knowledge or experience of how traditions, relations and families work in India.
I hope Asad understands this about the woman he loves or she will be dragging him and his already tortured family into many more messes as she has in the past.
I would really like to see Zoya's character grow a lot more where she actually knows what she is talking about rather than assuming she does.
One can not learn about relationships from the IPAD.
