My mother grew up in a very devout Catholic family in 1950s Valais. In 1967, as a young au pair in London, she met my father, a Pakistani immigrant worker. They got married, had three children, and settled in Switzerland. This marked the beginning of a meticulous effort to erase Pakistan from our family life.
