 Wanting Mor
Rukhsana Khan |

|
“When countries to go war, it is always civilians, especially children, who suffer the most,” says Rukhsana Khan, who has written a fictionalized account of a child in post-Taliban Afghanistan. Based on a true incident of a young girl, abandoned by her father after her mother’s death, and who grew up in one of the largest orphanages in Kabul, Wanting Mor is part of Khan’s continuing effort to create bridges of understanding between people of different cultures. Born in Pakistan, Khan lives in Toronto and writes stories of India, Persia and the Middle East. |
