From Waris to Heer

- A Novel of Punjab

Bag om From Waris to Heer

Heer. The perfect beauty. Ranjha. The perfect lover. Heer-Ranjha. The perfect love legend. Waris Shah. Its creator. From Waris to Heer narrates the story of Heer, Ranjha and Waris, and reimagines the story of the creation of the immortal love legend. Written in the style of a qissa, the novel, much of which is set in a tumultuous period in eighteenth-century Punjab, evokes both the spirit and the style of the original text even as it makes the story relatable to a modern audience. Lyrically narrated, it is among the most moving novels of our time about the power of love and commitment in a society that seeks to shackle its youth and censor its writers.
