Appreciate your enthusiasm and hope the books find their way into your hands! I've no upcoming plans to return to South Asia but hope that in the future I will be able to visit again. The land is rich with culture, flavor and history that I would love to share with my children.

I heard on a podcast you did with C.P. Leslie of New Historical Books (http://newbooksinhistoricalfiction.com/2014/10/21/nadia-hashimi-the-pearl-that-broke-its-shell-william-morrow-2014/) that you are coming out with a new book in the summer of 2015. Can you tell me a bit about this new book? (It was a very good interview, BTW, and I would recommend that your readers check it out on the website above.)

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?
