Confetti and Ashes: Reflections on Wellness

Confetti and Reflections on Wellness is a speculative memoir that questions what it means to live a good life. Blending personal experiences with the voices of ghosts and a seductive Qareen, this is a meditative exploration of consciousness and the liminal spaces we exist in.Confetti and Ashes is Shahd Alshammari’s second memoir, following the success of Head Above Reflections on Illness (2022).
As a passionate Squash player, the narrator delves into the transformative power of sports. This lyrical narrative is genre-defying, refusing to adhere to conventional ways of narrating stories we carry within our bodies. Multi-layered and in many voices, this is a narrative of memory, disability, and movement.
