About
"When Noreen Masud left her native Pakistan at the age of fifteen, fleeing a psychologically abusive home, she was looking for escape. Little did she know that her departure was only the beginning of an even stranger, harder journey through the legacy of complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD). In the forbidding beauty of flat landscapes she found solace for her soul, and relief from her trauma. A Flat Place is a love song to the haunting vistas of those landscapes and a deeply personal and moving consideration of a landscape that is both post-traumatic and post-colonial. What emerges is a vivid mosaic of memory, and an enriched understanding of inheritances geographic and psychological." --back cover.
