Rupa Publications India Unfettered Wings: Extraordinary Stories of Ordinary Women by Sana Munir
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 reallife characters grappling with issues that are as timeless as they are contemporary
