Confetti and Ashes

Confetti and Ashes: Reflections on Wellness is a speculative memoir that questions what it means to live a good life. Blending personal experiences with the voices of ghosts and a seductive Qareen, this is a meditative exploration of consciousness and the liminal spaces we exist in. Confetti and Ashes is Shahd Alshammari’s second memoir, following the success of Head Above Water. This lyrical narrative is genre-defying, refusing to adhere to conventional ways of narrating stories we carry within our bodies. Multi-layered and in many voices, this is a narrative of memory, disability, and movement.
