Ashraf’s Tale by Fran Tracey
Here’s
another excellent story by the author of the best-selling Authortrek short
story so far – Hiding in
the Dark. Ashraf’s Tale
follows the varying thoughts and emotions of a group of Afghani men, who have
fled the Taliban to seek a new life in the UK.
The least of the dangers they face is that they are travelling
illegally…
An
extract from the story:
Muhammed spoke often of the women he hoped to
meet in England.
“So, Ashraf, English women. I hear you can see their lovely bodies
straight through their clothes, what few they wear. Not like ours, covered from head to foot, eh?”
In
the gloom Ashraf saw his neighbour rub his hands with glee.
“Do you think I’ll find one for myself?” Muhammed continued. “I’ll be different from their English
men. They will want me. It will be good, no?”
“Maybe, Muhammed,
maybe.” Ashraf’s uncertainty about what
was to face them had increased as rapidly as Muhammed’s excitement.
An
Authortrek reader wrote that Ashraf’s Tale is a “gripping insight into
an unknown world, within a challenging and controversial subject. Fran demonstrates her ability to reveal
complex and intriguing characters and their private worlds with concise
accuracy yet again”.
