Namal

Namal is Nimrah Ahmed's best-known novel: a story of murder and revenge built around Surah An-Naml, the chapter of the Quran from which it takes its name.

Faris Ghazi, an intelligence officer, is convicted of killing his step-brother and his wife. His nephew Saadi Yousuf is certain of his innocence and sets out to prove it. Across thirty parts the novel folds crime, justice, love and revenge into one long, tightly plotted narrative — the book that made her one of the most read Urdu novelists writing today.
