Ismaili novelist, Shaila Abdullah examines social rift in the aftermath of 9/11

Award-winning author, Shaila Abdullah’s new novel “Saffron Dreams” offers readers a chance to explore the tragedy of 2001 from an uncommon viewpoint.

Hailed as “eloquently written, a must-read for any one interested in exploring the lived experiences of Muslim women in the United States” by Harvard professor Dr. Ali Asani, Shaila Abdullah’s new novel Saffron Dreams awakens us to a story of a culture in shock. It is a mesmerizing tale of tender love, a life interrupted, and faith recovered. Noted as “Word Artist” by critics, Abdullah is an author and designer based in Austin, Texas. Her creative work focuses on the strengths and weaknesses of Pakistani women and their often unconventional choices in life.
