About this Product
What paths do we take to end up where we are? And how do they shape the person we become? Zeeba Ansaris debut novel, The Hut, explores these questions as it follows the fortunes of a young man on a quest to find his family.
If you met Arun when he first came to Kandra, and said that one day hed sit beside a pool in a clearing and tell the story of his life, he wouldnt thank you for it. Stories and poems belonged to a past hed worked very hard to forget. And if you told him his audience would be Night itself, hed probably laugh and walk away.
Then again, if youd met him when he was thirteen years old and said that instead of becoming a farmer like his father, hed find himself on an extraordinary journey that would take him far from his hut in the valley to places he could never have dreamed of, he wouldnt have believed you either. Although hed have liked the idea; hed always longed for the glamour and excitement of the wider world.
His older self knew better. That journey was no quest for high adventure but a shattering of everything hed ever known. From desert plains to fabled cities, hed embark on a desperate search that would change his life utterly. Hed discover the value of friendship, and the meaning of home and family. And hed learn the hardest lesson of all: that love and happiness come at a terrible cost.
And if you sit beside Arun as he finishes his tale, hell tell you there is nothing more to say. Hed be wrong. There is a decision to be made, one final choice that could transform his life. But will he have the courage to make it?
Cornwall resident Zeeba says: "Im not sure where the inspiration came from. Its probably a combination of many things, including my love of stories, which began with the books I read as a child; my love of poetry; the tales my father told me and my sister as children; the Silk Road, a path through a world of many wonders; and, most of all, the joy that comes from escaping into your imagination and letting it take you wherever you wish to go."
This moving and beautiful novel takes the reader on an emotional journey through a timeless and richly imagined world.
