About this ebook
"‘Life makes a Novel’ is an absolute treat to read. It plunges the reader into action right from the beginning and immerses you into suspense throughout its course. We dive into Nain’s story- a woman wrought by a life so unprecedented- who would often find herself at crossroads, succumbing to taking difficult decisions alongside her sensibilities. The narrative is gritty, textured, and makes a strong impression on the reader’s senses.
Nagwa’s direct and uninhibited writing style is an impulse towards wholeness, engaging her readers both emotionally and intellectually."
Madeeha Raza Founder/CEO Women Through Film
"Compelling, creative and downright realistic. The characters in this book, their conundrums, personality traits, and choices are universal. It's a great read with brilliant character development and depicts the blurred lines between wants and needs beautifully."
Fatima Hasan, Lecturer Critical and Creative Writing at ITU, Curriculum Developer and Researcher.
"A well- written narrative portrayed through the character of a forty-five-year-old woman who has gone through the struggles of survival, and recalls her story of how the series of events took place. This realistic fictitious prose will resonate with anyone who knows even a little about the Crown rule in India and later the divide of India and Pakistan. What I like about this book is that for someone like me who is not an avid fiction reader nor is interested in history or politics will also connect especially to Nain’s character and to every emotion that has been beautifully expressed. Also, each individual goes through struggles, but Nain’s struggles that unraveled through her memories and how she faced and dealt them is something that will give courage and a different lens for one to look at life through."

Nain did not have a normal life...not by our standards; coming from a world of war and perpetual death in Indian Occupied Kashmir, narrowly escaping to Pakistan with only half her family intact—barely—may have influenced her profession as a journalist. Life as a reporter and a photo journalist wasn’t that rosy either, but it suited her inner restiveness, her inner rage that she thought had finally died out. And now she wondered if she was right to continue along this path. Perhaps she needed a change in direction. Start afresh, to a place like France maybe? Soon after she’d begun to settle down she met Rafay, a handsome young man with odd eyes and a scar tracing his jawline. Not only was he handsome, but he was audaciously flirtatious, and he promised adventure, excitement and danger—just the kind of life she thought she wanted to leave behind.
Nagwa Malik
Nagwa has been telling stories for as long as she remembers. At bedtime, the two sisters would have a tradition of making up or adding to the adventures of the ladybird series “Peter and Jane”, which then led to creating and telling original stories. It was only natural, perhaps, that she would graduate into writing stories later on.Nagwa Malik, born in Gumel, Nigeria and having spent her childhood between the UK and Nigeria, shifted to Pakistan her home country, still a young child where she is now a Language and Communication Skills Instructor, working mainly with professionals. Before that she used to teach French and Script-writing at reputed Schools and Universities. She is a double Masters' degree holder (French and Script-writing respectively) having obtained the second Master’s degree from City University, London with honours. Her Master’s in French was obtained from the University of the Punjab in which she passed as a position holder aged 20.Nagwa has been writing since she was 11 and published her first novel at the age of 15 which was a success. She has written a total of 40 plus novels but has been focused-until now- on her studies and later her career as a writer/producer and teacher putting her publications on hold. Apart from that she has written articles for Newspapers like The News International.Now that the sober account of her has been done with, a little bit about the person: Nagwa considers life to be lived as a traveller and is an ambivert who loves nature, animals, travelling, languages (she has a flair for grasping new languages very quickly) and, last but not least, her solitude. When she is not writing, she rejuvenates herself by watching her favourite K, J, C and Thai dramas...Korean being her favourite as they were what "brought back the spark" in her life, especially creative.To read her interview on Express Tribune please check this ink:http://tribune.com.pk/story/622538/opportune-storytelling-of-fact-fiction-and-fable/Also on mercedesfox:https://mercedesfoxbooks.com/meet-author-nagwa-malik/And;http://bernetahaynes.com/1/post/2016/03/author-interview-nagwa-malik.htmlhttp://mybookplace.net/nagwa-malik/https://thisiswriting.com/author-interviews-nagwa-malik-and-the-mist/Paperbacks can be ordered from Amazon, Createspace and Barnes and Noble.
