In a short story collection that spans countries, emotions, and generations, Masooda Rahman Khan uses tight, personal narratives to explore universal humanitarian issues. Stories of young girls and animals, and the constant mistreatment of both, force the reader to confront uncomfortable truths about the state of the world. Khan pulls from a childhood spent traveling the globe with her father to inject a sense of vivid realism to India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Indonesia. These deeply felt short stories will stay with you long after you put the book down.
