Weavingshaw

Weavingshaw is darkly romantic and completely absorbing […] Al-Wasity grapples with evils both supernatural (demons, possession) and horrifyingly real (imperialism, displacement, the prison-industrial complex)[…] But the good news is, this is the first book in a planned trilogy. I hope that, like Leena, Al-Wasity will only continue to come into her powers. * New York Times *One part sumptuous Gothic mystery, another part all the yearning and coy wordplay of a Jane Austen novel. I adored every minute of Weavingshaw * S. A. Chakraborty *A searing, revolutionary gothic masterpiece with an exquisite slow burn romance, Weavingshaw will haunt you long after the last page. A stunning, shadow-drenched debut. * Nadia El-Fassi *Intense, intriguing and impossible to put down, Weavingshaw is a truly gorgeous gothic fantasy steeped in atmosphere and filled with yearning * Ellis Hunter *A twisty gothic oozing with angst that will have you turning the next page — but never guessing what’s next. With sharp haunted heroines and morally grey saints, Weavingshaw unfurls its shadows to examine how secrets are currency — and shields around your heart. I needed the next book yesterday! * Katie Wu *A book that doffs its cap to 18th/19th century creepy mansion novels with a stormy central romance more along the lines of Wuthering Heights or Rebecca […] This is a hugely enjoyable debut novel that has an appeal way beyond romantasy fans. * SFX Magazine *
