Synopsis
The Servant Boy highlights the adventures of Zayne Shah, a young man who lives through the most horrific disaster his village, Saidpur, has ever seen. An epidemic has unknowingly raged through Saidpur and is taking the lives of umpteen folk before his eyes. Zayne is determined to find a cure to the mystery, at whatever the cost may be, even if that cost is a price he cannot presently afford. Zayne goes through a series of ups and downs as he takes you with him, embracing life through vivid details, all of which include paradoxes that anyone from any walk of life can relate life and death, happiness and grief, love and envy, friendship and animosity. Although The Servant Boy is a multicultural novel, and will appeal to those that will enjoy learning about the colorful and vibrant culture of Pakistan, it will also enchant those who enjoy mystery, fantasy, adventure, friendship, and romance. There is something in the novel for everyone.

About the Author
Reesha Goral is a young novelist who resides in Virginia with her husband and son. Although The Servant Boy is her first novel, it had its first debut in Istanbul, Turkey where it was translated in Turkish and published under the Turkish title, Uşak. In inspiration of writing The Servant Boy, she was deeply impacted by her many visits to Pakistan. On an account of engaging with an unsheltered woman, she spoke, "People are dying of hunger every year. They are people with bare necessities who have to instead improvise, with barely any. And that only makes them living, lifeless people." Her various other personal experiences, research, and imagination assembled the rest of the novel.
Review
"From the opening phrases, the reader is transported to the sights, sounds and struggles of a faraway place. The unfamiliar becomes familiar, and the recollections of the well-crafted characters become the reader's memories." - Arthur J. Levy (Author of Coda, A Tale of Tchaikovsky's Secret Love)
"The Servant Boy introduces Reesha Goral's fresh voice - a forceful talent for conjuring vivid and fragrant descriptions that transport you to another world that is both foreign and familiar. Goral weaves an engrossing rag to riches story that pops with vibrant locations and heartbreaking characters whose desires and demons are universal to us all." -Liza Trevino (Author of All That Glitters)
