  1. 1. Heart Lamp

    Heart Lamp is a collection of twelve short stories set in Muslim communities in southern India, focusing on the everyday lives of women and girls. Using a vivid, colloquial voice and dry, gentle humour, the stories portray family and community tensions through a diverse cast—children, grandmothers, clerics, brothers, husbands and, above all, mothers—exploring resilience and intimate struggles without revealing plot details.
