Shadows of the Sunlight

What happens when you are seen but never noticed? When your pain fits no slogan your truth fits no headline?In Shadows of the Sunlight the margins speak.This book is a mosaic of invisible lives — a schoolboy who carries trauma like a schoolbag a widow who watches her window like a ritual a laborer whose dream dies before his shift ends. It’s about the urban poor the rural forgotten the emotional orphans of modernity.The “sunlight” in the title represents the world we think we live in — modern progressive illuminated. The “shadows” are where the rest of us breathe. This book walks in those shadows.Inspired by Nirala’s fearlessness this work doesn’t aim to please. It aims to pierce.You may cry. You may flinch.But if you feel something real — then literature has done its job.— Fazal Abubakkar Esaf
