In a gripping memoir of growing up in the beautiful, yet battle-scarred, city of Srinagar Farah Bashir sheds light on the impact the Kashmir conflict had on girls, women and their families. From dealing with period pains to teenage infatuation and secretly listening to pop music the author discusses what it felt like to suddenly be thrown into a state of fear and anxiety.
