About Kausar Bibi

Thud. Thud. Thud. Fists crashed on the wood. With each violent blow, the door threatened to unhinge.

Kausar watched the door, her eyes wide with fear. Bile rose to her throat. Her heart pounded in her chest.

Then, with shaking fingers, the girl slowly unlatched the door, and with it, let the darkness consume her.”

Kausar has a secret she hasn’t admitted to anyone – not even herself. Now, at the age of sixty-three, she has long put the past behind her and lives a presumably normal life. However, her idyllic world is shattered when she receives a shocking revelation.

Overwhelmed by memories and feelings she’s long kept suppressed, Kausar must now confront the demons of her past and come to terms with what happened to her.

Quotes from Kausar Bibi

“Sadness washed over Kausar, the way it always did when it was time to say goodbye.”
“Even now, she could recall everything in vivid detail; the suffocating darkness of the night, the chirping cicadas, the fear running like an electric current through her tiny body.”
“Later, when she and her husband were alone in their room and Waleed had tried to touch her, she had almost gone into hysterics.”

There is a great saying that ''TRUST takes years to build seconds to break and forever to repair''
I give the book 5 stars since I think it's important for other children and even young ones to learn about how they got abused by those whom they trusted blindly. i definitely recommend the teenagers as it resonate better with them mainly the older readers who not only relate but would take the most of it as far as concern of writting is tame enough for everyone.
