Description
In the aftermath of 9/11, Natasha Wilson finds her life pulled into a web of suspicion, faith, and unexpected connection. As her story unfolds across time and continents, she confronts the distance between public fear and private truth, discovering how identity can be both contested and transformed. Blending intimate character drama with a sweeping historical perspective, the novel explores what it means to be Muslim in a world quick to judge—and how compassion can emerge even from those we are taught to fear. With Leila Aboulela’s lyrical, emotionally precise style, this provocative novel asks readers to consider the cost of prejudice and the possibility of understanding when enemies choose, however briefly, to be kind.
