Moni Mohsin the author of The End of Innocence writes a popular column called Diary of a Social Butterfly for Pakistans Friday Times, selections of which make up The Diary of a Social Butterfly her second book.
Wicked, irreverent and hugely entertaining, The Diary of a Social Butterfly gives you a delicious glimpse into the parallel universe of the have-musts. In this book one meets Butterfly, Pakistan’s most lovable, silly, socialite. An avid partygoer, inspired misspeller, 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.
Moni Mohsin grew up in Lahore and now divides her time between Lahore and London, where she lives with her husband and two children.
