Asif Menghrani, author of Five Souls

From Strategy to Soul

Asif Menghrani is a British-Swiss writer whose work explores the forces that shape us: love and loss, consequence and forgiveness, the search for meaning, and our capacity to change.

After a career that took him across cultures, countries and very different human worlds, he turned to fiction as a way of examining questions that could not be answered through reason alone. Influenced by the spiritual and poetic traditions of Rumi, Kahlil Gibran and Omar Khayyam, his writing brings together allegory, mythology and intimate human experience.

Five Souls, his debut novel, grew from a deeply personal search to understand the journeys that transform us—and what, ultimately, we choose to carry forward.

The novel

Five Souls brings together allegory, mythology and intimate human experience in five connected journeys. Explore the story, read an excerpt or find questions for your book club.
