UQASHA: MUSLIM EROTICA
"Uqasha offers a paradox in its invention of 'moral' erotic fiction which defies the narrow preconceptions of the Islamic faith by putting Muslim values and characters - and challenges to these values - at its heart. A quietly subversive twist to the erotic fiction genre, and a bold, brave debut," Arifa Akbar
Causing a sensation in Malaysia with its Wattpad debut in 2015, Uqasha plunges the reader into unfamiliar erotic terrain from the first word. It depicts the inner life of a 22-year-old Muslim woman in Kuala Lumpur, who dares to question the position of married women in a deeply conservative society.
Against a unique backdrop of sex and twisted desire, endless mind games unfold between her and Adam, the man she was forced to marry out of duty.
For the first time, a Muslim woman is not only portrayed as engaging in sex but also experiencing a sensual self-awakening while becoming empowered enough to use her sexuality to renegotiate her position in her marriage.
Over 5.64 million readers have confirmed Uqasha’s position as a landmark in Malaysian erotic writing and now it is now available in English for the first time.
Discover Uqasha − the Muslim erotica the world has been waiting for.

Very different from what I usually read, started off as something that caught my attention just enough but quickly evolved into a "50 Shades of Gray" esque plot that didn't hold me. The pacing is brisk and the language accessible, just not my type of book!
