Crying Is for Women
Zafarul Azam, author
Just published eBook on Amazon, paperback release date is 30 Sept.
- A man, out for prayers, is found dead by a river bank and the reader is off to the races in this relentlessly paced twentieth century chronicle.
- Human irrationality is front and center in this historical fiction theater. The book’s provocative title is but one example of such, now outdated, criteria formulated by man.
- A child of humble beginnings grows up to find himself thrown into turbulent events that altered the direction of human history. The roots of this tale takes the reader all the way back to the Indian sepoy mutiny of 1857.
- A precocious pre-teen girl, born with a silver spoon in her mouth, searches for role models to emulate.
The fictional characters are mixed with historical figures who become important players in the lives of these common people, their frailties and struggles. It’s about their beliefs, and the journey to achieve their goals while putting everything at stake.
The reader is drawn into the lives of these and other characters, their self-identity and its transformation in the battles with their demons, inner and the ones lurking outside.
