Qaisra Shahraz -‘Revolt’

Revolt
Revolt

Qaisra Shahraz is a prize winning and critically acccalimed novelist and scriptwriter.

Her work has been translated into several languages, and she is recognised as one of Pakistan’s  100 most influential persons. She has recently published her third novel ‘Revolt’ and is currently working on her fourth. Other titles by this author are ‘The Holy Woman’ and ‘Typhoon’. Qaisra uses the power of fiction in the novel form to help bring awareness about the need for social change.

Qaisra  sees diversity in our human population as the  our greatest asset and I started by asking her what her new as yet unpublshed book  will be about.
