Description
‘Inspired by the life and poetry of Shah Hussain, Sarbpreet Singh has written a miraculous, spell-binding novel which digs deep into the oral history of an amazing poet whose writings shimmer with the pain of separation, and intense love.’
—Zubair Ahmad, author of Kabootar, Banarey Te Galian, winner of the Dhahan Prize for Punjabi Literature
‘The Sufi’s Nightingale is a beautiful retelling of the famous 16th-century Sufi pir-mureed known by their composite name, Madho Lal Hussain. Singh’s involvement and investment in the story can be felt in each word, soaked in the ethos of that era… The elegant text intoxicates and instructs by turns and takes the reader into a world where love flourished and overcame the jealousy and intolerance that crossed its path.’
—Rana Safvi, author of In Search of the Divine: Living Histories of Sufism in India and Where Stones Speak
‘A moving, very human retelling of Madho Lal Hussain’s remarkable tale. In Sarbpreet Singh’s hands, the poet’s life and world come alive with a charming subtlety and elegance… This is historical fiction at its finest. Steering clear of the loud and theatrical, Singh quietly immerses us in the period, till, by the end, one can almost feel the Sufi’s breath through the pages.’
—Manu Pillai, author of The Ivory Throne and Rebel Sultans
