* Online Retailers: Sites like Amazon, eBay, and even smaller online bookstores often carry Urdu novels. Search specifically for "Urdu novels" or the name of a specific author. You might need to specify a region (e.g., "Urdu novels Pakistan" or "Urdu novels India") to narrow your results.
* South Asian Grocery Stores and Community Centers: Many South Asian grocery stores, especially those in areas with significant Pakistani or Indian populations, often have a small section dedicated to books and magazines, including Urdu novels. Community centers might also have small bookstores or host book fairs.
* Local Bookstores (with a call ahead): If you have independent bookstores nearby, call them directly and inquire if they carry Urdu novels. Even if they don't regularly stock them, they might be able to order them for you.
* Specialized Online Booksellers (South Asia): Search online for bookstores specifically based in Pakistan, India, or other countries where Urdu is widely spoken. These stores are more likely to have a larger selection.
Remember to check reviews and seller ratings before purchasing from online retailers, especially smaller, less-known sites.
