Early life

Nadya A.R. was born in 1971, in Lahore, Pakistan. Pakistani author Bapsy Sidhwa stated, "Nadya tells a chilling story set in today's Pakistan with flair. She is a promising new writer and knows how to engage the reader in this suspenseful work." In a review by Md Akhlaq for The Asian Chronicle, Akhlaq writes, "Author Nadya comes across as a keen observer of life and manages to capture the complexity of life beautifully in her writing. The narrative is beautiful and can be easily called poetry in prose, which is really very unique." In a review for Book World, Ritu Maheshwari writes, "The storyline and plot have all the potential to become a great novel, but the author spent her precious words in describing things and not emotions." Press Trust of India reports the book "has been commended by leading Indian personalities, including Mahesh Bhatt, Shobhaa De and Pakistani poet and columnist Salman Tarik Kureshi."
