Bilquis Riaz studied at the Convent of Jesus and Mary, Lahore. Later she attended Queen Mary College, Lahore College for Women and completed her masters in Urdu from Punjab University. Her literary journey has been impressive given that she was also a devoted mother of three children. As they say, writing needs dedication and more importantly, a lifelong passion. Her experimentation with different styles and genres was an attractive subject for my academic inquiry. In fact, the immense readability of her style – as it avoids complex sentences and difficult vocabulary – is what makes her writing so appealing. This is also the reason that it has found a place in newspapers and magazines.
