THE HOLY WOMAN

Last night I read a nice novel. The tittle is THE HOLY WOMAN. It was a nice story about 'Shahzadi Ibadat'. Its about life journey of a Pakistani girl, Zarri Bano. Sarri Banois a most fortunate young woman. She has wealth, beauty and brains, and plenty of freedom. At the age 27, she remains unmarried, since none of the suitors she has met at University in Karachi or within her privileged family circle come close to her ideal man.Then she meets Sikander Din, a handsome young business tycoon, who sweeps her off her feet. The pair fall in love and wish to marry, but Zarri Bano’s father Habib Khan has other ideas. Imagining his daughter has been snubbed, he takes an instant dislike to Sikander (in Indonesian spelling Iskandar, or Alexander in west). A family tragedy follows. Jafar, the Khans’ only son is killed in a riding accident and Habib is left with a terrible dilemma: who will inherit and manage his lands?

Resurrecting an ancient and terrible tradition, Habib decides to make Zarri Bano his heiress. After a ceremony of marriage to Quran, she will lead a life of religious duty, and of celibacy. Wedding, children, the love of a man and a woman – all will be denied to her.

For Zarri Bano is about to become her clan’s Shahzadi Ibadat – The Holy Woman. Its a fabulous story of Qaisra Shahraz! I think Qaisra is a Pakistani and she knows better about that culture. Wow......inspiring story. I hope i'll follow soon.
