A young kleptomania infuses thrill into her suffocating life by using her abaya to steal lipstick and flash men.
An office worker feels empowered through sex , shunning her inhibition but not her hijabistan until she realised that the real veil is drawn across her desires and not her body.
A British-Asian Muslim girl find herself drawn to the jihad in the hijan in her new and unfamiliar surrounding , leadings to unexpected consequences.
The hijan constricts as it liberates . Not just a piece of garment, it is a worldview,an emblem of the assertion of a Muslim women identify,and equally a symbol of oppression. Set in Pakistan and the UK this unusual and provocative collection of short stories explore the lives of women crushed under the weight of all encompassing veil and those who feel sheltered by it.
