July's BookBar BookClub author is writer Ayesha Manazir Siddiqi, discussing herdebut novel, The Centre.
 
Anisa Ellahi longs to become a translator of 'great works of literature', but right now she is stuck in her London flat writing subtitles for Bollywood films. Then she is told about the Centre, an elite, invite-only programme that guarantees complete fluency in any language in just ten days.

Seduced by all that it could make possible, Anisa enrols. But the Centre's services come at a disturbing hidden cost. Still - it's worth it, right? After all, success comes at a price .

By turns dark, funny and surreal, The Centre by Ayesha Manazir Siddiqi takes the reader on a journey through Karachi, London and New Delhi.
