Author(s): Iqbal Ahmed

Biography & Memoir

Ahmed's first book is a moving portrait of a forgotten city. Arriving in London in 1994, he tried to find a place to call home. On his odyssey, he encountered a number of fellow immigrants - the Indian woman who works in the post office, an African hotel doorman, the Egyptian newspaper stallholder in Charing Cross Road. In each encounter, he reveals a haunting portrait of London. "Sorrow of the Moon" is destined to become one of the classics of London literature.
