Have You Met Me? by Andaleeb Wajid [Paperback]

Have You Met Me? is a contemporary family drama about grief, fractured relationships, buried family secrets and reconciliation.

The story begins with the death of Haleema Begum, a beloved wife, mother and grandmother. Her three daughters have built separate lives around the world, but their long-standing resentments and unspoken conflicts have created distance between them.

After Haleema's death, her three grandchildren—Safina, Nura and Rayhaan—return to the family home in Mysore. Once inseparable as children, they have grown into near-strangers.

Their relationship begins to change when they discover Nani's journals. The journals reveal aspects of their family's past and give the cousins a shared purpose: protecting their grandmother's home and preserving her legacy.

As they uncover their family's history, the cousins gradually begin to understand not only their grandmother but also their parents, each other, and the wounds that have shaped their family.

Told through multiple perspectives, the novel explores the complicated mixture of love, grief, resentment, memory and forgiveness that exists within families.
