Umaira Batool's new novel follows three generations of a family in a village outside Okara, from the canal colonies of the 1940s to a granddaughter weighing a life in Dubai against the house her grandmother built from mud.
Told in alternating voices, the novel moves between weddings and floods, land disputes and quiet kitchen conversations, asking what we owe to the places that made us.
First serialised in a monthly digest to a large readership, the book edition has been revised and expanded with new chapters. Pre-orders ship in late October 2026.
