'Spanning over three generations, Incandescence is a book about a fallen aristocratic family set in 1970, Bangladesh. In a nuanced tale of love and betrayal, the protagonist is on an introspective journey of the self, space, and time. Mila Chowdhury, growing up in this somewhat odd and dysfunctional family, discovers life's intrinsic value. That there is a huge gap between what is and what should be. How does one overcome such limitations and shortcomings? Paradoxically, the answer lay right here, within her own odd family.'  (Publication summary)

1 y separately published work icon The Blue, Red Lyrae Mehreen Ahmed , Australia : Impspired , 2020 22690647 2020 selected work novella

'The Blue, Red Lyrae is a twin novella book, Offing and The Cheshire Grins. They have both been written in a stream-of-consciousness style. Either way both stories are tied like the constellations of the lyre of the deep skies. Hence, the title The Blue, Red Lyrae, meaning the colours of two of five main constellations. Blue is indicative of hot and red, indicative of cold, an existential allusion to life, dancing at the cosmic tune of a symbolic harp that Lyra stands for.'
