Shadows in the Sun (Paperback)

Twenty-one-year old Mayuri is afraid. For the second time, she has disgraced her husband and failed to give birth to a male heir. To make matters worse, this time she had twin girls. Her mother-in-law is outraged at her failure and takes action.

Events escalate and Mayuri is forced to flee with her four year old daughter, Rajani who witnesses her mother s plight from her hiding place.

When her husband catches up to her, a deadly confrontation takes place which compels Mayuri to lie and reinvent her past. She faces unexpected challenges and adapts to a new religion and culture.

When all her lies unravel, Mayuri pays a heavy price. But eventually, mother and daughter have to deal with the truth and its consequences.

Rukhsana Hasib s beautifully written and passionate account of life in our world where so many cultures and religions are in conflict is like a brilliant ray of sunshine; it illuminates as it elevates. Above all, it is a reaffirmation of the beauty and courage of the human spirit. - Professor Akbar Ahmend Ibu Khaldun chair of Islamic studies, American University, Washington, DC
