Book Review (Shehr-e-Zaat -- The city of self)

Shehr-e-Zaat 

(The city of self)

The name itself express it's story, This book is beautifully written on the topic based on "Mystical journey of love form self to substance,This book is truly a piece of gem with core elements of Islamic spirituality, In this book writer to portray the  chrachter of girl who were so obsessed with herself. She was student of fine arts with major of modeling sculpture, As she carved her idealistic monument , more she got her affection towards it. 

While the story get momentum once her manifestation came live in front of her  and suddenly she fell herself self in love  with Salman ansar ( the man who have  resemblance with falak's sculpture), Writer shows the chrachter of female lead  as arrogant ,unfriendly, self conscious and narcissistic but The Man for whom she fells in love was more arrogant then herself, he tried every possible way to avoid her but more he ignores her more she get involved in him and in last he accepts her affection and knot in nuptials with her, The story got heat when Salman ansar  started his extra marital affair with an uneducated an crass employee Tabinda at his factory , falak tries every possible way to restore her marriage life but I last she accepted her jealousy and thinks to harm tabinda with vitriol attack but when she find tabinda uglier than herself she went through with nervous breakdown and when she get her consciousness , she find her self empty and explore her spiritual journey towards substance. And in last slaman got betrayal from tabinda, he find his self guilty in front of falak and ask for pardon.after so many twist and turns falak accept his apology but this ye she was more towards Almighty either then her love for Salman and in very last she broke her sculpture which she created in start of novel.

Conclusion:
I rate this novel with 3.5, well Writer try to satire the whole story with elite classes that in now days we all had created sculptures of ego, anger,and enmity which are resisting us in the way of Almighty. well plot was little weak when falak's suddenly discover her love for Almighty, I feel this might can be more interesting, if she puts more struggle of falak in way towards Allah...
