A Pebble in the Throat is an eloquent and often heart-breaking memoir of Aasmah Mir's childhood growing up in 1970s Glasgow. From a vivacious child to a teenage loner, Aasmah candidly shares the highs and lows of growing up between two cultures - trying to fit in at school and retreating to the safe haven of a home inhabited by her precious but distant little brother and Helen, her family's Glaswegian guardian angel.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Cases. 2019;5(4):100133. doi:10.1016/j.omsc.2019.100133 Intricately woven into this moving memoir is the story of Aasmah's mother, as we follow her own life as a young girl in 1950s Pakistan to 1960s Scotland and beyond. Both mother and daughter fight, are defeated and triumph in different battles in this sharp and moving story. A Pebble in the Throat is a remarkable memoir about family, identity and finding yourself where you are.

A Pebble In The Throat is two stories told in unison. Aasmah Mir growing up in Glasgow – the place of her birth – and the upbringing of her mother in Pakistan a generation before. It is an emotional and thought-provoking narrative on what it is like to live in two very different cultures whilst all the time aware of racism, prejudice and stereotyping of gender from the 1960s onwards.

Try not to clear your throat as this can make your globus sensation worse. You can try sipping water, instead. Losing weight I loved this book partly because Aasmah Mir has such a good way with detail that she can with conjure Glasgow in the 80s or Pakistan in the 60s so vividly and economically it's like looking at snapshots in a photo album; but what I loved most were the moments when you sense her - and her mother - understanding that the world and their place in it is not what was advertised and they are going to have to work and sometimes fight to secure that place. I found it incredibly moving and it made me think and rethink how the narratives that shape who we are and how we fit in are not givens but negotiations and always up for revision. -- Reverend Richard Coles The Ross Roy Medal is awarded annually to the best PhD thesis submitted on a subject relating to Scottish literature and judged by the University Committee for Scottish Literature.
