AND WHEN SHE SMILED
Description
Going through Saulat Nagi’s novel And When She Smiled reminded me of when I read Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s novel “Love in the time of Cholera” which often reminds me that love is strange and when we grow older it gets stranger.
In his novel Saulat develops made me wonder, where, would any of us be without romance? And that perhaps it is possible, to not only worship love ‘forever, but to actually to follow through on it — to live a long life based on such a deep thoughtfulness, that the physical need of sex would have turned into an instinctive art of being human which can drive misery from our bodies.
Emerging from slow paced story in the beginning, the characters Ahmed and Fatima take the liberty given to them by the author’s pensive fervour. They discuss the Neitzsche, his beliefs and experiences with women. Another character, Mariah, is a symbol of breaking societal norms and thus liberating society itself.
