Haram by Zubayr Charles (with Shana Fife)

Loading player...
In this episode of Pagecast, Shana Fife interviews Zubayr Charles about his unflinching debut novel, Haram.

About the book:
As a young man in a close-knit Muslim community in Woodstock, Muhammad used to feel trapped between who he was and who he was expected to be. But then he met Riyaaz, and his world shifted in unexpected ways.
Many years later, on the day of his wedding, Muhammad is pulled into memories of his adolescence – a time when faith and forbidden desires collided.

Haram is an unflinching tale alive with hidden and unspoken desires.
