Asian culture explored through rich modern narratives.
This collection is like opening a window to distinct slices of contemporary Asian life, rendered by voices directly from South Asia. You're not just reading to tick boxes for a curriculum requirement; you're getting an insight into a vast array of emotions, societal norms, and personal struggles that can resonate with anyone curious about the world beyond their own boundaries. It's both a cultural tour and a testament to skilled storytelling.
Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
