BOOK CLUB: Chasing Shadows in Borrowed Light by Safinah Danish Elahi

Chasing Shadows in Borrowed Light by Safinah Danish Elahi
Book synopsis:
Saira, Areen, Ashar and Usman dreamed of leaving Pakistan and building new lives far from the shadows of their past.
For years, the group has harboured a terrible secret, one that poisons Areen from within and pulls the others apart.
They have tried to outrun that night, to forget what was lost and what they did - but the past has a will of its own.
Now scattered across continents, the friends find that some histories cannot be left behind.
When Areen's life is - once again, it seems - in jeopardy, the other three are pulled back into her orbit. Old wounds resurface and each of them must face the truth about their friendship, who they were, what they became, and the things they can never undo.
Host:
The book club discussion will be hosted by Maariyah Qureshi: British-Pakistani and London-born, Maariyah is a lifelong lover of the arts. Though she works in marketing, her heart sits firmly in academia. Her recent MA in South Asian Studies explored the intersections of arts, history and politics, with a specialist focus on Bollywood. She channels these passions into Dial M For Maariyah, an online platform that brings together storytelling, culture and communication through both academic and communications lenses.
The book club discussion will be followed by an author Q&A and book signing.
We generally operate a no refunds policy, unless a replacement is found via the waiting list.
