Stories My Grandma Never Told Me (Paperback)

Discover the hidden lives and untold stories of grandmothers in "Stories My Grandma Never Told Me"— an evocative anthology edited by Razia Sultana Khan. This collection brings together fictional tales inspired by real family secrets, resilience, and intergenerational bonds.

The stories in the anthology Stories My Grandma (Never) Told Me are written by members of The Reading Circle (TRC), a community of eclectic readers who read across continents, genres, and cultures. This collection came about from a fascination with the “skeletons” that families keep hidden; secrets carefully buried, yet persistent, resurfacing across generations like banned books that continue to circulate underground. This book is what happened after the discussions ended. From domestic dramas and supernatural legends to journeys of self-discovery, each story reveals the agency and complexity of women who shaped families and communities. Perfect for readers who cherish family history, cultural memory, and powerful storytelling. If you’ve ever wondered about the veracity of the stories circulating in your family which your grandmother may, or may not, have told you, this book is for you.
