The story "A pair of jeans" takes place in modern days in the Northwest of England. Two worlds, two styles of life, two generations, and two very different traditions crash together: On one side, traditional Pakistani parents in-law and on the other, Miriam, a second generation Pakistani immigrant, who has adapted to Western society. Now she has to decide either to live the life which is expected of her, or to live her own lifestyle, which means a mix between her traditional roots and a modern British lifestyle, where she actually lives.
