Courtesans' Quarter by Premchand Munshi
'Courtesans' Quarter' is a translation of the Urdu classic Bazaar-e-Husn, first published in 1917 by one of the finest Hindi novelists, Munshi Premchand. It tells the story of a beautiful and ambitious woman trapped under the harsh constraints imposed on women in 1930s India.
.. a wonderful and incisive novel by a master storyteller ... it says much about social inequity and issues of gender, which are still prevalent in South Asia today. The English translation by Amina Azfar is also a great pleasure to read. DAWN, Pakistan ... carries all elements of drama and tragedy, which one experiences in life. The Nation, Pakistan
