Set in Pakistan, Saudi Arab, Bahrain, Baahir is an intriguing read.
Learning that the protagonist is an adoptive child of her parents reminds that this tradition still prevails in the society.
Sawera, a girl who’s given for adoption to her birth mother’s brother. For the start, her life seemed good. She seemed to brought luck for her adoptive parents. They birthed two boys, post Sawera’s arrival into the family.
Her life took a turn when her parents pushed her into the wedding, with a man of double her age. The man just looked at her for physical favours. Sawera felt herself trapped with 5 men.
Later, her life took a turn when she fled to Saudi with her three children and one in her womb. She started working in a salon and her life took a lot of turns after that.
A perfect blend of emotions, pain, happiness and love. Also, an important lesson:
“All that glitters is not gold, and not every outer place(Baahir) is heaven.”
