Crossing Boundaries

In this kaleidoscopic memoir of migration, Kishwar Ahmad takes us on a journey of exploration and adventure, charting her life from her birth in Lahore just months after Pakistan itself was born, through her childhood and young adulthood and the eventual decision to move and settle in Australia where she and her husband, Tauqir, raised an ever-growing family and began to explore an even wider world. It is a story of family, connection, love of life, thirst for knowledge, and resilience in the face of many challenges. It is a story of crossing boundaries, both physical and psychological, and coming to an eventual understanding of one’s identity in this beautiful and complex world.
