UNFETTERED WINGS

From the barren dust bowl of Nushki a small town in Balochistan to the posh white marble bungalows and magnificent mansions of Lahore this book captures vignettes of the lives of Pakistani women who brave battles big or small every day. These women compare with their Indian counterparts as much as they contrast. Whether it is little Farida through whose innocent eyes we see the drawing of political borders and the destruction of many families or Meera whose attempt at reaching out across these very borders is met with ridicule by her own countrymen Summi who shares the painful burden of her husband’s past or the wanton Maria for whom love and relationships matter naught these are real-life characters grappling with issues that are as timeless as they are contemporary.Unfettered Wings is about strength and fortitude of relationships in ordinary settings that unfold into extraordinary situations.
