KHWAAB KHAYAAL 001
An evening with Safina Danish Elahi
The Day: Sunday 20 September 2026
The Hour: 6.00 to 8.30pm
The Place: Bisou Bisou, Manchester
For our first gathering, we are pulling up chairs around a book and letting the conversation go wherever it wants to go.
We are welcoming author Safina Danish Elahi for an intimate evening built around her novel, Chasing Shadows in Borrowed Light, and the questions it leaves you with once you have closed it. We will talk about identity, friendship and the strange, winding paths our lives take, what happens when we grow in different directions from the people we once imagined would always be beside us, and what it means to look at the life we actually have next to the one we thought we would.
Come alone, or bring the friend you have been meaning to see. Just bring your curiosity. We will take care of the rest.
Keepsakes for your memory box:
For when the night becomes a memory, we’ve gathered a few things worth keeping.
A rather lovely book tote, with your very own copy of Chasing Shadows in Borrowed Light tucked inside.
Collectable Khwaab Khayaal keepsakes, consider them the first additions to your KK memory box.
A few extra little surprises, because we couldn't possibly tell you everything beforehand.
A seat at the craft table, where we'll bejewel our own bookmarks, a little something made by you, to take home with you.
An open conversation with Safina about identity, friendship and the strange trajectories our lives have a habit of taking.
Most, importantly, time to linger. To meet the people around you, continue the conversation, get your book signed and perhaps leave knowing someone you didn't when you walked in.
See you somewhere offline soon. xoxo
