Two Short Novels

Two Short Novels is based on unexplained personal issues that often maul high-spirited people behind the curtain.

The first short novel was taken from a series of true events that accrued in author Zaynah Mahmud's life, especially when she was married to a drug addict for almost a year. It dawned upon her that women undergo domestic violence inside their bedrooms for year after year, yet they swallow their pride and gladly embrace it as the karma of life.
The second novel was very much borrowed from documents of famous people in the film industry. Their inability to voice out suppressed agony motivated her to come out with a small story on how they should relent pondering about their on-screen image and hollering the barren truth they have to endure each day with a smile.
