Forgotten Tales: Stories from the Kashmir Valley (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A young girl, who is on a journey of finding her missing father, dedicates her entire life to tracing him. The story of two women whose strong bond of friendship transcends religion, brings us a lesser known, humane side of Kashmir. Another young girl falls in love and weaves a thousand dreams, but a shocking turn of events could very well cost her this dear love.

Forgotten Tales is a somber collection of 11 short stories, all set in times of conflict, but each revealing a different account, touching upon different aspects of people's lives in the valley.

Torn by decades of conflict, Kashmir holds several untold stories of death, bloodshed, disappearances, rape, sufferings and injustice. But what's often forgotten in the midst of all this turmoil is that, these could also be stories of love, friendship, reminiscence and hope.

Autorenporträt

Sana Altaf was born in winter in Kashmir. As she learned to take her first steps and utter her first words; the world around her was changing. She was hardly five-years-old when she first heard the gunshots as she played slide on the snow. From that day, nothing remained the same. She grew up with blasts, killings, protests, and unending strikes.

As she began to gain understanding of what was happening around, her heart never felt at ease. She began expressing herself through writing and chose journalism as her career. She also won an award in 2013 for reporting woman issues during conflict.

Backed with 10 years of journalism experience, she is currently based in United Arab Emirates where she pursues her passion for writing.

Forgotten Tales is her first collection of short stories.
