Naqshbandi sahib:
What is the correct name for Munshi Premchand's novel. I searched Amazon.com for "Courtesans’ Quarters" and did not find it. I would love to buy and read it.

naqsh"
1. Maps for Lost Lovers by Nadeem Aslam
2. Psychoraag by Suhail Saadi
3. An Equal Music by Vikram Seth
4. Umrao Jaan by Mirza Muhammad Hadi Ruswa
5. Aag Ka Darya (River of Fire) by Qurratulain Hyder
6. A Suitable Boy by Vikram Seth
7. Twilight in Delhi by Ahmed Ali
8. A River Sutra by Gita Mehta
9. Bazaar e Husn (Courtesans’ Quarter) by Munshi Premchand
10. The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy"
In my humble opinion,this list would be incomplete without Raheem Gul's novel "Jannat ki Talaash" It is absolutly a gem, one of the masterpieces of cotemporary Urdu literature. I Cannot understand why this novel is not given a due credit and attention it deserves. If you have not read this novel you are missing something.
