<br/><br/> Attia's two worlds the lucknow she grew up in and the London she later lived and worked in, intersect and mesh in the stories and novels excerpts presented here reflecting her deep and abiding concern with those caught in the cleft stick of history and hoe they come to terms with it. the distinctive quality of her prose subtle elegant with an uncanny ear for dialogue and sharp yet sympathetic observation, is displayed to stunning effect as she delineates the tension and pathos of lives and societies in transition. A feast of fiction.
