Cool, Sweet Water: Selected Stories

By Khadija Mastoor and Khadija Mastur

Book Overview

Mastur's work, marked by a scathing, uncompromising realism, reveals a deep concern for the lives of ordinary people, especially women, who have been passed by in the rush for modernization. Her fiction also explores the political undercurrents that have shaped Pakistan's turbulent history and she examines the issues of minorities, a subject rarely touched on in Urdu fiction.
