I don't have any questions after reading this fabulous book. Just commenting here to let you know that this book has resonated with me in a way words can't explain? Thank you for writing this Nadia. I hope to become a writer one day and write a story as tragically beautiful as this.

Fantastic, bravo! In my admittedly stereotypical viewpoint, I expected to read how terrible men are towards women in this culture but sadly, I am taken aback by the women themselves who are just horrendous toward one another; mother-in-laws, sister-in-laws, such lack of grace and kindness; I am haunted by these injustices and the profound absence of sisterhood. Why such a lack of humaneness toward fellow women?

Hi Nadia, I invested in "When the Moon is Low" for our book club and it has been lovingly received. Everyone has said it is so compelling. I even love the cover and texture of the pages as fine detail. The refugee theme for the book is so relevant today. We want to know how things work out for Saleem & whether the family are reunited? Would you consider writing a sequel? Best regards x

I read When the Moon is Low about 2 weeks ago, and subsequently devoured The Pearl That Broke It's Shell this week. Something I picked up on when I started Pearl is Shekiba's father Ismail being a master of of cultivating his land, much as Fereiba's father is with his orchard in Moon. I see other similarities between these men as I got to know their characters....did you think of them similarly as you were writing?
