Orphaned as a little boy and fending for himself in the city streets, Yazid rises to a place of responsibility and respect in the Lahore household of Colonel Atar, a powerful industrialist and politician, only to find that position threatened by conflicting loyalties and misplaced trust. Born on Colonel Atar\u2019s country estate to a poor gardener, Saqib is entrusted with the management of a pioneering business, but he overreaches and finds himself an outlaw, confronting the violence of the corrupt Punjab Police. The colonel\u2019s son competes with his cherished brother for the love of a woman and discovers that her choice colors his life with unexpected darkness as well as light.<\/p>\n<p>In matters of power and money and the heart, Mueenuddin\u2019s characters struggle to choose between paths that are moral and just and more worldly choices that allow them to survive in the systems of caste, capital, and social power that so tightly grip their culture. Intimate and epic, elegiac and profoundly moving,\u00a0<i>This Is Where the Serpent Lives\u00a0<\/i>is a tour de force destined to become a classic of contemporary literature.<\/p>\n<p><i>Cover painting \u201cGarden Party\u201d by Salman Toor \u00a9 Salman Toor; Courtesy of the artist, Luhring Augustine, New York, and Thomas Dane Gallery<\/i><\/p>\n<h3>This Is Where the Serpent Lives<\/h3>\n<p>By: Daniyal Mueenuddin<br \/>\nNarrated by: Daniyal Mueenuddin<br \/>\nLength: 11 hrs and 58 mins<br \/>\nRelease date: 01-13-26<br \/>\nLanguage: English<br \/>\nFormat and Bitrate: M4B@125 kbps<br \/>\nSize: 652.48 MB<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rapidgator.net\/file\/df3436bcb8ccb1ec79307aa43e8892a0\/This_Is_Where_the_Serpent_Lives.m4b.html\"><strong>Download from RapidGator<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cloudfam.io\/b8a1c07fe7c2\"><strong>Download from CloudFam<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A stunning new work from universally acclaimed Daniyal Mueenuddin, whose debut short story collection won the Story Prize and was<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":24126,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[389],"tags":[4632],"class_list":["post-24125","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-family-life","tag-daniyal-mueenuddin","comments-off"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
