Experience the remarkable journey of Dr. Waheed Arian in In the Wars: An uplifting, life-enhancing autobiography, a poignant story of the power of resilience. This compelling memoir captures the essence of hope and determination against a backdrop of war and hardship.

Born amidst the chaos of war-torn Afghanistan, Dr. Arian’s life story is a testament to the unfathomable strength of the human spirit. As he recounts his journey, readers will discover:

  • Escaped Conflict: His early life filled with the sounds of explosions, yet he found solace in learning.
  • Resilience in Refugee Camps: Overcoming adversity in life as a refugee in Pakistan, he became self-taught through a passion for medicine.
  • Bravery and Tenacity: Clandestinely transported to the UK at just 15, with only $100 to his name.
  • Academic Excellence: Battling PTSD and anxiety to gain admission to prestigious institutions such as Cambridge University, Imperial College, and Harvard.

In 2015, Dr. Arian founded Arian Teleheal, a groundbreaking charity linking medical professionals in conflict zones with those in developed nations, saving countless lives. This memoir, reminiscent of Educated and War Doctor, has been celebrated as a Waterstones Paperback of the Year and has received accolades from notable figures like Khaled Hosseini and James O'Brien.

Dr. Arian's inspiring achievements have been recognized with numerous awards, including UNESCO's Global Hero Award, the Who Cares Wins Best Doctor Award, and The Times's Man of the Year Award. Join him on this extraordinary journey and discover the true power of resilience through education and compassion.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
