About this Book

The creative quill of Riyaz is constantly eager to experiment. She does it, playing with time and memory. Her canvas is pretty large. Her delineation of urban life is as deep and penetrating as that of the bucolic world of Kashmir hills even as she shows a greater facility for the latter. She can weave her tales with artistry and effectiveness. Among the contemporary Urdu writers, Tarannum Riyaz has unequivocally acquired that place, making a salutary contribution to Indian short story. Across the Shores takes its readers on a voyage across the shores of life!
