Pakistani literature has long been a reflection of the country's cultural, social, and familial values. In recent years, a new genre of romantic fiction has emerged, focusing on the complex and often taboo relationships between mothers and sons. This genre has sparked both interest and controversy, as it delves into the intricacies of familial bonds, love, and desire.
