Reader thoughts
The way Armaan goes still when she mentions the letters… I’ve reread that paragraph five times.
This is the only story that makes me miss Lahore and never feels like a postcard. Nani’s chapter was perfect.
Reading from Lisbon, and I still feel the azaan at the end of chapter 7. Please never stop writing.
