Zeba

An Accidental Superhero

By: Huma S Qureshi

Meet Zeba. Spoilt, rich and interested in nothing but lazing on the terrace of her plush New York apartment and inhaling deep drags of her favourite weed -- an irreverent girl who is about to become a very unlikely superhero. Zeba's cushy life takes an unexpected turn when she travels to the distant land of Khudir and discovers the source of her superpowers -- the holy spring Zsa Zsa -- and it falls on her (against her best instincts) to save the world she loves from the clutches of The Great Khan, a cruel tyrant with the most shaitani intentions. Can she vanquish her inner demons while she prepares for the fight of her life -- a fight to save not just her family but the whole damn world? Zeba by Huma S Qureshi is the story of a sassy superhero with an unusual choice for a cape, as relatable as she is unusual, a shining symbol of freedom, empowerment and grit. Full of magic and written with intense passion, it is a thrilling tale of heroism and transformation, and ultimately the triumph of the human spirit in the face of adversity.

In Spite of Oceans

Migrant Voices

By: Huma Qureshi

In Spite of Oceans: Migrant Voices explores the individual journeys of generations in transition from the South Asian subcontinent to England. Poignantly written, and based on real events and interviews, what emerges is the story of lives between cultures, of families reconciling customs and traditions away from their ancestral roots, and of the tensions this necessarily creates. We hear from the young bride from Bangladesh, married to a stranger, who comes to England to navigate life with a man she cannot love; from an Indian father who struggles to come to terms with his son's mental illness and hides it from people he knows; about how a mother and daughter's relationship was shattered in the clash over the Pakistani traditions her daughter chooses not to follow. Each narrative describes a journey that is both literal and deeply emotional, exploring the hold an inherited culture can have on the decisions and choices we make. At times heart-breaking, at times inspirational, In Spite of Oceans brings to life the pull of the past and the push of the future, and the evolving nature of what we understand as home.
