false 868537 2 "Exquisitely woven." Leila Aboulela Timely and lyrical, <i>The Cry of the Dove</i> is the story of one young woman and an evocative portrait of forbidden love and violated honor in a culture whose reverberations are felt profoundly in our world today. Salma has committed a crime punishable by death in her Bedouin tribe of Hima, Levant: she had sex out of wedlock and became pregnant. Despite the insult it would commit against her people, Salma has the child and suddenly finds herself a fugitive on the run from those seeking to restore their honor. Salma is rushed into protective custody where her newborn is ripped from her arms, and where she sits alone for years before being ushered to safety in England. Away from her Bedouin village, Salma is an asylum-seeker trying to melt into the crowd, under pressure to reassess her way of life. She learns English customs from her landlady and befriends a Pakistani girl who is also on the run, with whose help Salma finally forges a new identity. But just as things settle, the need to return for her lost daughter overwhelms her, and one fateful day, Salma risks everything to go back and find her. 853923 10 10 2007 The Cry of the Dove: A Novel total:122|5:16|4:39|3:44|2:17|1:6| 122 408 211 46 5 2 false false Tue Feb 12 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Feb 06 12:30:21 -0800 2008 Wed Feb 13 15:05:37 -0800 2008 more...]]> 2 1 true false Thu May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Apr 24 07:55:18 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 08 20:39:57 -0700 2008 more...]]> 1 1 false false Sat May 10 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Apr 19 10:00:09 -0700 2008 Sat May 10 09:38:51 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 1 false false Thu Nov 27 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Nov 27 18:51:06 -0800 2008 Thu Nov 27 19:34:22 -0800 2008 1 more...]]> 2 0 false true Mon Jan 05 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 02 09:54:15 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 07 06:02:02 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Apr 21 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Apr 17 14:04:31 -0700 2008 Mon Apr 21 08:59:28 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Feb 12 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Feb 13 15:03:50 -0800 2008 Wed Feb 13 15:05:10 -0800 2008 more...]]> 2 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 24 05:06:55 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 25 18:31:04 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Jan 16 20:39:26 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 25 18:32:47 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 12 15:21:08 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 19 13:20:32 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 22 18:29:07 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 22 18:36:43 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Sep 07 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 16 17:34:34 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 07 09:55:20 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Jul 29 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 29 12:19:30 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 29 13:07:12 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Feb 15 12:44:15 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 15 12:59:08 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Mon May 25 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon May 25 17:35:20 -0700 2009 Mon May 25 17:38:25 -0700 2009 4 0 true false Tue Jan 29 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Jan 25 19:11:25 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 01 12:49:55 -0800 2008 The Cry of the Dove is a story of a woman struggling to fit into a society who doesn't want her when she doesn't even want herself.
