A jinn is sent to destroy one family. Across twenty years and two countries, he watches every plan he makes turn in his hands.
In Neem Chowk, Darbhanga, the Qureshis live an ordinary life of faith and small certainties. Professor Asghar Qureshi honours a religion he has never quite opened. His wife answers every breaking thing the same way: we are in God's keeping. And their three children seem easy to read, until a night of violence drives the family across the world to New York, and the whisperer assigned to them follows, certain of his work.
He is wrong about all of them.
The devout daughter he is sure of begins to fall. The daughter who scorns religion begins, impossibly, to rise. The restless boy fleeing his home walks straight into the best thing that ever happens to him. With the patience of a creature who has all the time in the world, an ancient, cunning, increasingly bewildered narrator confesses how he tried to ruin the people he was made to ruin, and how he met, at last, the one force he was never given the power to defeat.
Emotional, fast, and luminous, The Whisperer's Confession is a novel about the long roads that lead a family apart and the quieter ones that bring it home. It is a story of faith lost and found, of repentance that is never too late, and of the ordinary love between people who refuse to leave each other alone.
Told, unforgettably, by the one who tried to stop them.
