The Lady of Sohanbela
₨1,295.00The principal character, Kamila, is the sole heir to the hereditary seat of a sufi saint located in a riverine area in the rural hinterland of Pakistan.

The tensions and conflicts that are inherent in such a situation are the wellsprings of the narrative which plays out against European, American and Pakistani backdrops.

The One Who Did Not Ask
₨2,450.00For rash, awkward Gaythi, there is always something amiss. Daughter of an extensive and wealthy Muslim upper-class family in pre-Partition India, she’s expected to be demure, have poise and grow willingly into the roles of mother and wife. Gaythi does not know what she wants but she’s certainly not keen to settle for less than what she believes in. A series of tragic and unexpected events suddenly threaten to split her home as well as her country. Exile follows and Gaythi is forced to assume responsibility for her haughty and powerful mother. Touchingly and with carefully-crafted detail, Altaf Fatima describes the impact of change on the lives of an entire people. A parallel narrative runs through the novel, the relationship of Gaythi and Safdar Liu Chu, a Chinese immigrant who was forced to come to the subcontinent in search of livelihood. The brutal, stony divide of the Himalayas which partitioned two ancient cultures, although both Gaythi and Safdar Liu Chu share the same religion, has been dealt with delicately and realistically.

THE ZARDARI PRESIDENCY
₨5,995.00He was the man who defied all odds—a political survivor rising from obscurity to become Pakistan’s most enigmatic and possibly most controversial president. While many predicted the party founded by his father-in-law to factionalise if not fade away after the assassination of his wife, Benazir Bhutto, Zardari took the reins of the party at its most difficult time, united it and went on to become president of Pakistan twice. But what secrets lay behind Asif Ali Zardari’s tumultuous rule? In this explosive memoir, The Zardari Presidency: Now It Must Be Told, seasoned insider and close aide to Zardari, Farhatullah Babar, recounts the high-stakes drama, clandestine power struggles and seismic events that shaped a nation during Zardari’s presidency from 2008 to 2013. From the corridors of the presidency to the stormy halls of Parliament, Babar offers an unparalleled view of Zardari’s battles with Pakistan’s entrenched deep state, the judiciary and even his own allies. Witness the fallout of the Memogate scandal, the shadow of Osama bin Laden’s raid and the relentless manoeuvring that kept democracy afloat in a sea of conspiracies. Learn how Zardari steered Pakistan through impossible odds, from navigating U.S. diplomacy amidst a mistrusting military to laying the groundwork for historic reforms like the 18th Constitutional Amendment.

One is battling to preserve the unity of Pakistan, the other is fighting for an independent Bangladesh. Their paths cross in unpredictable ways in the chaos of war.

And what are the consequences of the choices they make?

UNVEILING JAZBAA: A History of Pakistan Women’s Cricket
₨2,500.00In 1996, Shaiza Khan led a Pakistan team on a tour of New Zealand and Australia. While the tour was a failure on the cricketing front, the singular act of eleven women wearing flannels and battling for victory in the faraway antipodes was a significant achievement. These women had – individually and collectively – worked to throw off the shackles of social and cultural decrees that had conspired to keep Pakistani women away from sport for years. Even more importantly, these players were harbingers of change who became heroic role models for women back home and all around the world. Unveiling Jazbaa tells the story of Pakistan’s women’s cricket, detailing the extraordinary journey the players have been on to bring about change both in their country and the sport itself. This is a tale told through the lens of society and politics, of personal battles and triumphs against the odds, of friendships and rivalries, of favours and revenge. Above all else, it is a story of bravery and unerring will and a moving testimony to the power of the human spirit.
