    About this ebook

    Djinn
    n. pl. jinn also djinn
    In Muslim legend, a spirit often capable of assuming human or animal form and exercising supernatural influence over people. Ashrafi and Bilal are orphaned siblings stranded and defined by the troubles in Kashmir. Eighteen-year-old Bilal is the pride of the region, part of a teenage football team set for great heights, and pushed to the limits by the violence around them. Haunted by hope, his sister is caught in the past, and Bilal is torn between escaping the myths of war and the cycles of resistance. Interweaving true stories and testimonies with Islamic storytelling, the play paints a magical portrait of a generation of radicalised kids, and a beautiful landscape lost to conflict.
