Leaves from Kashmir Saba Shafi

As yet another violent summer comes to a close and the
burnt amber leaves of the Chinar are shed, she gathers the
scattered leaves of her journal, packs up her bag and leaves
her nest...'Leaves from Kashmir' traces the trajectory
of a young woman's journey from her native land-
Kashmir to Delhi, in a story where prose and poetry
intermingle in a lyrical, sensual dance. A moving
allegorical account of the struggles she faces as
she grapples with the diverse shades of life,
death, home, exile, love and longing.
