Ammi by Saeed Akhtar Mirza

I read this book and something stirred within me in the calmest of ways and I can’t get over this book ever in my life. It’s beautiful.

It’s a novel in the form of a letter from the author to his late mother. He shares his experiences, learnings, travels and many different stories through the pages of this book. It’s a treasure.

(Here’s the funniest part. I bought this for $0.61 from a stock clearance store at the annual book fair. It was a book that I randomly picked without even reading the information provided. Accidents can be beautiful)
