The Concubine and the Slave-Catcher Résumé

The Concubine and the Slave-Catcher: Stories From Around The World Qaisra Shahraz

Ten powerful stories set on several continents and at different periods in history. A well-meaning Abolitionist learns the sordid and violent truth about slavery from her African servants in Boston USA. The sundering of India and Pakistan in the 1947 Partition is revealed when a Muslim boy is adopted by a Hindu family during the chaos of mass migration. A young university student finds her engagement broken off because her fiance's family disapproves of her Western attire. The horrors of the Holocaust are writ large in one pregnant woman's experiences. With each unique story, Shahraz captures and enriches us with her wisdom and storytelling magic.
