What Remains After A Fire by Kanza Javed [Paperback]

What Remains After a Fire is a collection of interconnected and emotionally intense stories about women navigating pain, loss, oppression, memory, and the search for love and belonging.

The stories portray wives, mothers, sisters, and daughters whose lives are shaped by patriarchal expectations, family trauma, and difficult relationships. Some women find resilience and renewal, while others struggle with loneliness, erasure, or emotional devastation. Through intimate and often haunting narratives, the collection examines what remains of a person after they have been wounded by life.
