Description
The Djinn Waits a Hundred Years by Shubnum Khan is a haunting and beautiful novel set on South Africa's eastern coast. Eight decades after its grandeur, Akbar Manzil stands as a testament to the past, its marble parapets and golden domes a reminder of prosperity. When teenage Sana moves into the isolated boarding house, she becomes drawn to the deserted east wing, where secrets and stories wait to be uncovered. As Sana delves deeper into the history of Akbar Manzil, a grieving djinn begins to stir from its long sleep. This is a place where people come to forget or be forgotten, but Sana's curiosity sets her on a path to unearthing the truth about her new home and the woman who once called it home. A rich tale of loss and love, The Djinn Waits a Hundred Years is a story of belonging and self-discovery.
