- Q7246461 abstract "Priya Basil (born 1977 in London, England) is a British author.Her first novel, Ishq and Mushq, was published in 2007. Ishq and Mushq is a family saga which illuminates the problem of cultural identity for immigrants over several generations, and raises questions of memory, exile and self-rediscovery. Ishq and Mushq came second in the World Book Day "Book to Talk About 2008" competition. The novel was also short-listed for a Commonwealth Writers' Prize, and long-listed for the Dylan Thomas Prize and the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award.Her second novel, The Obscure Logic of the Heart, was published in June 2010. It tells the love story between the Muslim Lina and the secular Kenyan architecture student, Anil. The characters are caught in the maelstrom of socio-political problems as they try to negotiate between different loyalities – to family, faith, society and themselves.Priya's novella Strangers on the 16:02 is published on 17 February 2011 as a Quick Read. It's a hot crowded train. Helen and Kerm are jammed together in a crowded carriage. Then noisy school kids fill the train—and three of them are about to cause a whole heap of trouble. Catching a train? Read Strangers on the 16.02 and you will never feel the same way about your fellow passengers again.The Quick Reads Initiative publishes once a year a series of 10 short books by best-selling authors and celebrities. With no more than 128 pages, they are designed to encourage adults who do not read or find reading tough to discover the joy of books.

Since then, over 60 titles have been published, over 3 million copies have been sold and 2 million copies have been loaned through libraries.Basil’s work has been translated into Italian, German, Russian, Bulgarian, Brazilian Portuguese, Dutch, Croatian, and Serbian.In autumn 2014, Priya Basil took up the prestigious Writers' Lectureship at the University of Tübingen. She shared the honour with Chika Unigwe.
