In the middle of July 2016, Pakistan was shocked by the honour killing of media sensation Qandeel Baloch in Multan. The work compiles the events surrounding and leading up to the murder of Qandeel Baloch on the night of July 15, 2016. The Express Tribune spoke to Sanam Maher about her new book, honour killings, social media and the role women pay in our society. Many details about the life of Qandeel Baloch come to light as the book progresses. Apart from honour killing, the book explores themes such as the power of social media, internet stardom, as well as the clash of cultures, globalisation and religion.
