The author is fully able to convey the feelings and aspirations of fellow Afghans with candor and style, being an Afghan herself. Her family migrated from Afghanistan in the nineteenth century.

She has written books for children that have been published in Pakistan and, in some institutions, has formed part of the curriculum of certain schools there.

Positive reviews of her books can be seen in the literary section of the English newspaper Dawn, which currently has the widest readership and circulation within Pakistan.

She has two sons and two daughters. She and her husband spend their time between Lahore Pakistan, London UK, and New York, USA.

THE AFGHANs

My latest project is a fictional narration of three generations of a prominent Afghan family, spanning from the invasion and subsequent occupation by the then superpower USSR, the coming to power of the Taliban government, to American occupation and a future withdrawal of foreign forces, leaving behind a free Afghanistan.

The narration follows the family’s escapades throughout those tumultuous times. From valiantly fighting against Soviet Russia while being part of the resistance movement, to helping but then opposing the backward Taliban government, to indulging in gun-running and the vicious drug trade. This sweeping epic follows these influential Pashtoons to a gripping climax.
