Moirae discussion

Ever since James Joyce introduced the concept of “stream of consciousness,” I have been fascinated by this literary technique. It was against this background that I eagerly approached “Moirae” written by Mehreen Ahmed. I was not disappointed as she traversed the silent land of the Lost Winds. I loved the description of the arrest of Nalia’s newly wedded husband as the police discovered the huge sum of money he had stolen. I was fascinated to find banshees in India which I had thought were unique to Ireland and Highland Scotland. I was also intrigued to find that her disgraced husband was found profiteering from illegal transportation of people fleeing from persecution, shades of our current problems in the Mediterranean. Ms Ahmed now had my undivided attention as I sailed through a most enjoyable read.
