Nazneen Sheikh has written several works of fiction and non-fiction for adult and young adult audiences, including Moon Over Marrakech: A Memoir of Loving Too Deeply in a Foreign Land, Chopin People, and Ice Bangles. Her culinary memoir, Tea and Pomegranates: A Memoir of Food, Family and Kashmir was a critically acclaimed success. Nazneen was born in Kashmir and went to school in Pakistan and Texas. She lives in Toronto.
The Place of Shining Light has the intrigue of a thriller. The
world of political and military corruption, bribery, and illegal
dealings that Sheikh paints lends logic to the sectarian violence
and the rise of terrorism in modern Pakistan. Rarely does one
get such a revealing glimpse from inside the culture.
