Abstract	The present study spotlights on echoes of anguish and resistance of Leila Saman in Ava Homa’s Daughters of Smoke and Fire (2020). It is the debut novel of Homa in 2020. She is a Kurdish writer, journalist, and activist. Homa has succeeded in taking us on a journey to Kurdistan capturing the everyday life of 50 million Kurds in Iran, Iraq, Syria & Turkey. Reading the life stories of Kurds, the readers are exposed to the unchanging lifestyle of such minority people overwhelmed with the agony and resistance of men and women of Post-colonialism. It is worth noting that resistance is not only fought with the gun but also with written words. Through the eyes of a young Kurdish woman, Homa shines a light on the history of the Kurds, a story defined by brutal oppression but also rich with resistance and resilience.
