Description

Zari Zoon, a young and vivacious girl from  Kashmir, is looking forward to a bright future when the raging conflict in the region reaches her family home.

Featured Reviews

An Isolated Incident greatly weaves emotional resilience and a complete breakdown in this literary, romantic, and cultural story that revolves around two main characters who are deeply connected to this beautiful land of Kashmir, and consequently pulls sensitive, necessary, as well as unfortunate strings in their hearts. Flowering on the themes of pain, heartbreak, loss, grief, cultural identity, and pure love for those who are lost and for what lies ahead. Running through Kashmir, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and the United States, this read is not easy in any aspect but is needed if you wish to feel the beauty of a prose and the complexities, tears and hope alike, of being isolated—whether miles away or right there in the land you once called home.
