Shaherazade’s Daughters, by Sameena K. Mughal

In a world of genies and fairies, extraordinary women from all over the East make extraordinary journeys of the spirit, mind, and heart. In "Shaherazade’s Daughters," different women follow in the footsteps of the legendary heroine of 1001 Arabian Nights. The short story collection by Sameena Mughal pays homage to the classic tales yet adds a modern, feminist twist. The diverse stories comprising "Shaherazade's Daughters" range from the adventurous and comedic to the dark and dramatic. Each offering explores the complex pathways to self-discovery.
