Years later and they are still trying to piece their lives back together, still trying to make sense of what happened. Zohaib is living in London, haunted by the ghosts of the past. Nadia has escaped the household where she first met Misha and Zohaib but finds fate delivering her back to their door…
The Idle Stance of the Tippler Pigeon is a beautifully rendered portrait of love, healing, and long-buried pain, digging deep into the nature of trauma and class division.
Zohaib, Misha, and Nadia are forever changed one afternoon when tragedy strikes. They’ve shattered into a million pieces and years later still haven’t put themselves back together again.
This is a powerful tale of love and loss. Told mostly from Zohaib, Misha, and Nadia’s POVs (with a few others here and there), this story unfolds into a tapestry of childhood friendship, class imbalance, and tragedy not dealt with properly. No one in this story has really managed to move on from what happened, but is it ever really too late?
This is wonderfully written and masterfully steered to keep the reader guessing. What happened? Why is it still affecting them today? I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. The desire to peek at the end to see what happened was so strong I had to really dig deep in the restraint department to stop myself. And that ending? Wow. This is a book that will stick with me for a long time.
