Hertfordshire Press is proud to announce the release of Naked Nimbus, the third novel by acclaimed author Shahsanem Murray. This highly anticipated work follows her earlier successes “Cold Shadows” and “Finding the Holy Path”, both available on Amazon and discovery-bookshop.com.
In Naked Nimbus, Murray tells the story of Arthur, a young and ambitious artist haunted by his role in a fatal accident. As he seeks redemption and recognition for his craft, Arthur’s journey becomes both physical and emotional — stretching from the Soviet homeland to Scotland, France, and the wilds of Siberia. Along the way, he grapples with love, betrayal, loss, and surreal moments where reality and imagination intertwine.
Parallel lives enrich the narrative, including that of Turdubek, Arthur’s friend Alik’s father, whose search for love under the Soviet regime mirrors Arthur’s own longing for connection. Rich in visual imagery and layered with symbolism inspired by Surrealist art, Naked Nimbus is a profound meditation on identity, forgiveness, and the universal need to belong.
Murray’s literary voice, praised for its poetic prose and philosophical depth, has captivated readers across her previous works. With Naked Nimbus, she continues her tradition of weaving thought-provoking narratives that linger long after the final page.
