Pakistan, 2083 AD. Allah has burned the sky away. A mysterious snow falls over everything. Is it an endless winter? Is it the result of a nuclear exchange with India? A celestial impact? Now a barren wasteland, what little is left of Pakistan is heavily segregated along religious lines.
For Avaan, a gun in his hand feels as natural as breathing. An apostate pariah living under martial law and religious bigotry, violence has become a way of life. What respite he had from this terrifying world — his brother, his family, and Doua, the love of his life — was snatched away in military raids.
Now broken, Avaan finds himself involved in a civil war that poisons everything he’s ever believed in. The army shadows his every move, a mob boss wants him dead, and a legendary resistance leader has taken a keen interest in him. But there is a ray of hope: Avaan discovers that Doua is alive. Obsessed with finding her, he takes a stand against the army, the mob, and Pakistan itself with the only thing he has ever been able to count on, the gun in his hand.

Reviews
The reviews are in for White World!
His extremely vivid and visceral writing style makes this book stand out among so many. I found myself imagining every scene as a picture, something I rarely do [...] White World is an immersive, vivid story, conveying a sadness that remains with us.
— Mona Angéline
“Pakistan’s historical treatment of religious minorities, including minority sects of Islam, makes the world Farooqi evokes feel all the more visceral – and horrifyingly possible [...] White World is a gritty read that shocks, frightens, and challenges.”
— Manahil Bandukwala
