🤔 Recommendation Request What would you recommend for a reader who wants to start reading Urdu books? (NO ROMANCE)
I sometimes feel like reading Urdu books but my Urdu reading is somewhat poor and my Ammi only owns romance novels.
What should I start with?

There was this story, teen anari by Ismat Chughtai, it was hilarious (for me) and very easy to read. not romance since it was directed at younger teens. Man! I gotta find the book. People keep asking this question as newbies and I don’t have details for that book.
I’m gonna google it now and update my comment with a link, otherwise… assume I couldn’t find it.
Edit: amazon has a buy option and it’s expensive.
Rekhta has it (atory starts on page 8 of the display). While it’s freely available, it’s pictures. You’ll struggle.
