In an unnamed town in the North of England, Jugnu and his girlfriend Chanda have disappeared - and Chanda's brothers have been arrested for their murder. What follows is an unravelling of all that is sacred to Jugnu's brother and sister-in-law, Shamas and Kaukab. Kaukab tries desperately to maintain her Islamic piety as she struggles to square the traditional justice of her culture with the consequences of the murder and it's corrosive effect on her family. Maps for Lost Lovers opens the heart of a family at the crossroads of culture, community, nationality and religion and expresses their pain, longing and desires in a language that is arrestingly poetic.
