Multicultural Fiction

[close] Telegram, the literary fiction imprint of Saqi Books, was founded in 2005 to publish the best in new and classic international writing, from debut novelists to established literary heavyweights.

Award-winning independent Saqi was started in 1983 to bridge the divide between Middle Eastern and Western cultures.

She also wrestles with her own personal flaws and family drama. As a social worker myself, I try to touch on real issues in my novels with the hope of providing encouragement and inspiration amid the page-turning action. With this discussion group, I want to talk about some of the issues that Sienna addresses - both with her clients and with her own personal concerns. I also want to keep the door open for comments about the series overall, questions you may have for me as the author, and conversation that ties it all together. Let's talk.
