Love's Fury

Three women, one man, one night… Love’s Fury is a tragic tale of three young women, each haunted by what happened one night in Chiragpur. Naghmana is the glamorous one from the city, found in the arms of a married man; Chaudharani Kaniz the rich widow with a secret from her past she cannot forget; and Gulshan, the innocent wife, whose life falls apart when she loses her husband, before her eyes, to a total stranger. For all three there is no escape from love and the typhoon that swept them apart. For twenty years the residents of Chiragpur remain warped in time, space and guilt, closely guarding small silk parcels containing locks of a woman’s hair, hoping to return them and beg forgiveness from its rightful owner. Will the arrival of a beautiful stranger, summoned to the death bed of the village elder, lead to the villagers’ final redemption? Or will they have to live under the burden of guilt forever? ‘Full of vivid detail about the lives and loves, the duties and desires in Muslim family life’—Yasmin Alibhai-Brown ‘[Qaisra Shahraz] seamlessly takes her readers on a vivid journey’—Manchester Evening News
