Nagwa Malik

Biography

Nagwa has been telling stories for as long as she remembers. At bedtime, the two sisters would have a tradition of making up or adding to the adventures of the ladybird series “Peter and Jane”, which then led to creating and telling original stories. It was only natural, perhaps, that she would graduate into writing stories later on.
Nagwa Malik, born in Gumel, Nigeria and having spent her childhood between the UK and Nigeria, shifted to Pakistan her home country, still a young child where she is now a Language and Communication Skills Instructor, working mainly with professionals. Before that she used to teach French and Script-writing at reputed Schools and Universities. She is a double Masters' degree holder (French and Script-writing respectively) having obtained the second Master’s degree from City University, London with honours. Her Master’s in French was obtained from the University of the Punjab in which she passed as a position holder aged 20.
Nagwa has been writing since she was 11 and published her first novel at the age of 15 which was a success. She has written a total of 40 plus novels but has been focused-until now- on her studies and later her career as a writer/producer and teacher putting her publications on hold. Apart from that she has written articles for Newspapers like The News International.

Now that the sober account of her has been done with, a little bit about the person: Nagwa considers life to be lived as a traveller and is an ambivert who loves nature, animals, travelling, languages (she has a flair for grasping new languages very quickly) and, last but not least, her solitude. When she is not writing, she rejuvenates herself by watching her favourite K, J, C and Thai dramas...Korean being her favourite as they were what "brought back the spark" in her life, especially creative.

What are your five favorite books, and why?
I have always loved mysteries, and having been a literature student, I got to sample some of the best written books that were not mysteries. So, I have my all time favourites: Agatha Christie and Enid Blyton, and writers like Robert Ludlum and Michael Connelly, and then there's Margret Atwood and Pascal.
What do you read for pleasure?
I read thrillers and cozy mysteries.

I lived a life of monotone…yes, monotone. In my life I saw pain, courage, excitement—all what the audience would call “adventure”. Perhaps at a turn the adventure stopped being a monotone and took on a new meaning… And thus began Nain’s conflict. Maybe her life wasn’t normal. And what was normal?

  • Odd Whitefeather on June 28, 2016

    Been trying to post my review for quite sometime but for some odd reason it wasn't going through. I liked the fact that it moved away from the regular cliches. And I love the setting!
  • The Dwelling on Jan. 01, 2021

    I've had this book in my wishlist for sometime and I am extremely sorry that I did not have the time, until now, to actually read it. I was too busy with my own book. The story took me in hook, line and sinker right from the first line...literally. I felt as if I was reading a bit of theatre, and I loved that feel. The development was nicely paced and I couldn't stop. I loved it.
