Lahore (Pakistan Point News – 29th November, 2018) Pakistani author Shazaf Fatima’s recent novel ‘A firefly in the dark’ will be turned into a tv series.

Shazaf’s first novel ‘How It Happened’ was released in December 2012 by Penguin, India while her second novel ‘A Firefly in the Dark’ was published this year by Speaking Tiger Books again in India.

‘A Firefly in the Dark’ features the life of a young girl with the twists of supernatural elements as the tales narrated by her grandmother mingle into reality. The girl’s father encounters an accident while her mother battles depression, due to which she lives with her grandmother.

The story will now be filmed as a TV series by Indian telecom giant Reliance Jio.

"A Firefly in the Dark’ is becoming a TV series. I still balk at the ‘for the entire universe and for all perpetuity’. Sleep deprivation and some amount of nervousness in my smile while I sign the contract here."
