Fatimah Asghar discusses their critically acclaimed first novel, “When We Were Sisters.”
Asghar’s combines poetry with prose in her debut novel, “When We Were Sisters,” a poignant and heartfelt exploration of identity, sisterhood and the enduring power of love. Sisters, Noreen, Aisha and Kausar face the challenges of orphanhood after losing both their parents. Instead of the promised new home, they endure cramped living conditions under the neglectful care of their troubled uncle. Throughout their journey, they rely on one another for support, but as they grow into teenagers, their once-unbreakable bond begins to fracture.
