“Nafisa Haji has written a moving meditation on the meaning of family, tradition, and the ties that bind. The Writing On My Forehead is lyrical and touching.”

Khaled Hosseini, author of
The Kite Runner and
A Thousand Splendid Suns

The Writing on My Forehead:
A Novel by Nafisa Haji

"You must take some time and fall in love with the characters of Nafisa Haji's debut novel about Saira Qader, a rebellious journalist and a Muslim-American of Indo-Pakistani descent, and her family members, each with their own hopes and dreams. This is a rich novel, full of joys and sorrows, laughter and tears, rebellion and tenderness."
