Leila
Shalini will never forget her daughter Leila's third birthday party: it was the last time she saw her alive. Sixteen years have passed and Shalini's life is unrecognizable.
Her husband gone: beaten and dragged from their home the night Leila disappeared. Shalini, once privileged, is now disgraced. She trawls the streets desperate to discover where Leila now lives--if she lives at all.
In this repressive state, where tradition and purity are valued above all, those outside the city walls--forced to live in filth and oppressive heat--are less than nothing. But can Shalini find a way back in? Will she see Leila again?
Perfect for fans of THE HANDMAID'S TALE
