Small Scale Sinners : Stories

An astonishing debut examining women’s lives in Pakistan and interrogating the burdens, and freedom, of love. In twelve electric, potent stories, Mahreen Sohail explores the facets of women’s lives, as daughters, siblings, and mothers, in marriage, and alone. She writes of women who are fluent in the language of grief, but refuse to be confined by it; of lives that are full of desire and betrayal; of a world in which menace lurks just under the surface of the ordinary. Neighbors spy on each other; estranged families reunite at a funeral; schoolgirls are caught up in a murder. “A flawless eye for detail meets a daring instinct to tack and swerve and startle in stories that are wonderful on sisterhood, on sex, on Pakistan, on coming of age. Small Scale Sinners offers the same thrill as celebrated first collections by Jamel Brinkley and Colin Barrett and Yoon Choi: the pleasure of watching a singular sensibility awaken to its own expression” (Garth Risk Hallberg, editor of The Uncollected Stories of Mavis Gallant, and author of City on Fire).Author: Sohail, Mahreen,author Contributors: Sohail, Mahreen,author Binding: paperback Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Published/Release Date: 30 Oct 2025 Format: Paperback / softback Publisher/Studio/Brand: A Public Space Author/Director/Artist: Mahreen Sohail Dimension (cm): 203x132x51 mm Package Dimension (cm): 9x203x133 mm Item Weight (g): 204 Package Weight (g): 190
