THE GOLDEN LEGEND PB – NADEEM ASLAM

SHORTLISTED FOR THE JHALAK PRIZE 2018 For weeks, someone has been broadcasting people s secrets from the minarets of the city s mosques, striking fear into the hearts of Christians and Muslims alike. Then when shots ring out on the Grand Trunk Road, and Nargis s husband, Massud, a fellow architect, is caught in the crossfire, she is unable to confess to him her greatest secret before he dies. But as the anonymous broadcasts continue, is it merely a matter of time before her past is exposed? The Golden Legend is a timely and luminous story of corruption, resilience and the hope that only love and the human spirit can offer.
