Publisher Description

WINNER of the 2026 PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction

An astonishing debut examining women’s lives in Pakistan and interrogating the burdens, and freedom, of love.

In twelve electric, potent stories, Mahreen Sohail explores the facets of women’s lives, as daughters, siblings, and mothers, in marriage, and alone. She writes of women who are fluent in the language of grief, but refuse to be confined by it; of lives that are full of desire and betrayal; of a world in which menace lurks just under the surface of the ordinary. Neighbors spy on each other; estranged families reunite at a funeral; schoolgirls are caught up in a murder.
