Interview with author Aliya Ali-Afzal, whose debut novel “Would I Lie to You?” came out in July 2021. It is the story of Faiza, a stay at home mother, who has accidentally spent all of her family’s emergency fund and now desperately needs to get it back before her newly unemployed husband finds out.

We had a fascinating discussion on money, power and motherhood, and the role of finances in family dynamics.
