Calling all Pakistani bibliophiles, if you are struggling to find a particular book and would like it sourced you can contact https://bookabook.pk/ who can source the book and even order it from Amazon etc, the costs are not too bad, the main problem is delivery waiting times, but alas if you are looking for niche books not regularly stocked in bookshops this is a good website to use.

Thank you so much. This will be extremely useful to me.

I just read the description for this book. Very interesting, I assume the reader will be reading the story of these 3 women simultaneously. The plot certainly looks interesting from the description that I have read. Is there a haunting and horror element in the story?

Islam in China (Islam in Series)​

In China there are up to 25 million Muslims living in the country, representing over 1200 years of Chinese-Islamic relations. However, little is known about the historical and contemporary geopolitical relations between China and the Muslim world, or the situation for the diverse groups of Muslims living in China today. In this book, James Frankel studies the rich and dynamic history of Muslims in China from the Tang dynasty (618-907) to the present day. He shows that Muslims in China remain an internally diverse population separated geographically, ethnically, linguistically, economically, educationally, and along sectarian and kinship lines. But despite having its own local flavours and accents, Islam in China is recognisable as the same religious tradition practiced by approximately 1.8 billion Muslims worldwide and Muslims in China are inextricably part of society, living alongside other minorities and amongst the great Han Chinese majority. Tracing 1200 years of history, this book shows that Muslim communities in China have undergone tremendous change, touched by the forces of Chinese history, the development of Islamic traditions outside China, and geopolitics. In highlighting the paradoxical situation in which Chinese Muslims have found themselves - living as both insiders and outsiders to Chinese society and state - the book examines why after so many centuries of habitation and naturalisation, Muslims in China are still stigmatized by their perceived alien origins. The book follows the ‘yin and yang’ of compatibility and difference and the connections and ruptures between two great civilisations.​

Urdu digests are still a thing, in fact, they are selling like hotcakes. I wish our people would read more thought-provoking books. There are plenty of incredibly thought-provoking novels out there like Fyodor Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment.

It's an superlatively written narrative, and the characters are lovingly developed along the book, I hope you can get a copy of it. I recommend it, this is the only novel I have read so far recommended by a good friend.
