“Readers will discover the resilience and strength it takes to find oneself. We will see Nurjahan hook on to hope, as she finds her true and authentic self.”
About Hook of Hope
Growing up in the 1980s, Nurjahan Khatun is a daughter of immigrants who came to the UK in hopes of being able to provide for their family, locally and abroad. Growing up in this environment, it was the norm for women and girls to remain silent, ask no questions, and do as they are told.
Nurjahan was taught to do what pleased her family, and to remain a well-mannered, and well-cultured daughter. She played that role initially but, after a while, she realized it went against everything she felt and believed. We see each attempt that Nurjahan makes to raise her voice...to be heard. Hook of Hope explores these moments and more as we learn about her journey.
