'How exciting to read Hajra Masroor's short stories collected and translated into English for the first time by veteran Urdu translator Tahira Naqvi! Masroor's work is essential feminist reading in the Classics translation library.'
-Daisy Rockwell, translator of Khadija Mastur's The Women's Courtyard, and co-winner of the 2022 International Booker Award
Bold, unsparing, surprising-there is brutality here but also much to delight a reader, both in the stories themselves and the manner of their telling.'
-Kamila Shamsie, author of Home Fire and Burnt Shadows
