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.
This collection of ten stories by an American Muslim straddles the worlds of memories, dreams and reality.
Told with insight and sensitivity, they intimately explore the often complicated lives of the Muslim immigrant diaspora in New York City. Throughout the narrative, voices emerge from all corners of the Muslim-American experience to articulate struggles, remembrance, fears and dreams--a newly wed bride, a shy second grader, sisters, a daughter, a young woman, a young man, a young couple.
A poetic journey through the Muslim community that holds the prospect for growth and renewal in all of us. |
