The
end is the new beginning!
They
say for the new to grow and nurture, the old has to be destroyed.
Extraordinary
Stories of Ordinary Women the “Unfettered Wings”, by Sana Munir
shook me the core, making me realize of the fragile world we live in.
One that can break at any moment and they too say that “things are
not what they seem.”
We
seem to have tread in a treacherous paths with the expectation to see
a beautiful world beyond the horizon, but at the same time we might
get famished, if what lies beyond doesn’t fathom the expectation we
had.
Sana
Munir have woven stories with endings that will make you question the
very existence of human beings and once you have finished reading,
you will be left all alone to search for the meaning humanity, like
an oasis in a desert.
The
stories will have a deep impact on you and will alter your way of
thinking about women. Women who have faced all odds but have stood
the test of time being bold and fearless. These stories might have
happened to women in a certain period of time. Having said that, it
might be possible that these are real stories, which we can relate to
and sadly such circumstances and scenarios are still a part of
today’s world.
The
author has given a voice to these stories. Ones that aren’t spoken
of or would have succumbed to the noise around it.
However
challenging life might become, it can’t rain forever! Life will
always find a way to to grow. Its in its very DNA to do everything in
its power to make human lives better and in case of the women
mentioned here, it might have left scars on them but have made them
bold and fearless. And made them
the ones we call as “the survivors.”
Never ever have I come across a book of any genre, that has shook me
to the core. It has let me with so many emotions running at the same
time that I was confused how to handle it all at the same time. For
most of the time the emotions are extreme. Lives are being shattered
and then there is a ray of hope with love stories and then they are
totally unpredictable in ways that I haven’t imagined. So, much has
happened in the stories that it will take a toll on you and can
affect you in many ways.
An eerie silence took over me, mixed with bewilderment when the
author silently questions the very existence of human beings. Some
stories left me numb and some tore me apart.
How can you pen down so many emotions and write the harsh realities
of life in a single book, I wonder?
Only a person with incredible story telling skills can do such a
magic.
Hats-off to Sana Munir to have penned down such wonderful stories.
“Unfettered Wings” will send a chill down your spine and will
shake the very ground beneath your feet and at the same time will
kindle and nurture hope. Hope for a new beginning.
You might question how? How on earth is it possible to have such
diverse nature of stories be in a single book.
Ah ha! There is one way.
Start reading from Page 1.
The stories will spellbound you and you will be amazed by the
versatility of the author, her command over the story telling skills
and the nature of stories that she has chosen to share.
You won’t survive the landslide of stories that this book has to

its true existence. Not only that it expects us to care for everyone
around us and to treat them with respect. Only then the true purpose
of the stories will be fulfilled.
