The Memory of Hands

Solid writing, universal ideas, poignant themes: When one opens The Memory of Hands, they get that and more. The novel follows the lives of two sisters as they grow up in America. The struggles that the girls must deal with as they try to over come the animosity that this country throws at them is powerful. An excellent collection of short stories centering on the lives of Muslims in urban America as well as on the immigrant Muslim experience. A poetic journey through the Muslim community that holds the prospect for growth and renewal in all of us.
