More about the book

Set against the backdrop of a wealthy Muslim community, the story explores themes of love, betrayal, and the clash between modernity and tradition. Zarrie Bano, a glamorous heiress, finds her romantic plans thwarted by her father's disapproval of her fiancé, Sikander. Following a tragic accident, her father enforces an ancient tradition that forces her into celibacy and a life as her clan's 'holy woman.' The narrative unfolds across contemporary Pakistan, London, and Egypt, highlighting the complexities of familial duty and personal desire.
