Experience the remarkable journey of Dr. Waheed Arian in his compelling memoir, In the Wars: An uplifting, life-enhancing autobiography, a poignant story of the power of resilience. This profound narrative has been celebrated as a Waterstones Paperback of the Year and praised by literary giants like Khaled Hosseini and James O'Brien.

Born in the midst of war-torn Afghanistan, Arian’s story unfolds against a backdrop of chaos and hardship. His earliest memories are filled with explosions, yet through the darkest times, he discovered a passion for medicine that would transform his life and the lives of others.

Dr. Arian's journey is nothing short of extraordinary:

  • Escaped conflict, enduring life in refugee camps in Pakistan
  • Self-taught through textbooks and the BBC World Service
  • Clandestinely transported to the UK at 15, armed with only $100
  • Overcame PTSD and anxiety to gain admission at prestigious institutions like Cambridge University, Imperial College, and Harvard

In 2015, he founded Arian Teleheal, a revolutionary charity that bridges the gap between medical professionals in conflict zones and developed nations, saving countless lives in the process. This memoir, reminiscent of Educated and War Doctor, is a powerful testament to the strength of ambition and resilience.

Dr. Arian’s inspiring achievements have earned him several notable awards, including UNESCO's Global Hero Award, Who Cares Wins Best Doctor Award, and The Times's Man of the Year Award.

Join Dr. Arian on his 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.’
