Description of The Book of Gold Leaves (English) (Hardcover) by Mirza Waheed
Two lovers are destined to meet in the city of Srinagar. Roohi is a beautiful, spirited girl who is haunted by dreams of a mysterious man she believes is her true love. Faiz is a young papier mache artist on the cusp of painting his masterpiece, the Falaknuma. When fate conspires to bring them together on one windswept evening, both fall irrevocably in love. But it is 1991. Kashmir is simmering with political strife and it is only a matter of time before Srinagar is engulfed in the gathering storm. Before they know it, the city they call home erupts in violence, threatening everything that the two lovers hold dear. An age old tale of love, war, duty and choice, the book of gold leaves is as devastatingly resonant as it is beautifully written.
