“An exquisite, engrossing, and very moving book.”

New York Journal of Books

Shortlisted for the William Saroyan International Prize for Writing

At the age of twenty-three, Ayesha removed her face veil to begin her studies in New York City.

Braiding together Western, South Asian, and Qur'anic storytelling styles, the author illuminates what it means to exist in a world that demands something different from each of her identities.

With lyrical prose and scholarly precision, she weaves her personal experiences with incisive social commentary to uncover the meaning of faith and belonging, love and betrayal, family and womanhood. In so doing, she offers us a vision of freedom that isn't measured in fabric.
