Simi K. Rao was born and grew up in India before relocating to the U.S., where she has lived for several years.

The inspiration for her books, and other projects, comes from her own experience with cross-cultural traditions, lifestyles and familial relationships, as well as stories and anecdotes collected from friends, family and acquaintances.

a flutter in my heart and mind
a tremor in my limbs
a need to go somewhere, someplace
stumbling drowning in a dark confusion
a disorientation so deep
there is no escape

Glad this book exists and I was able to read it. Geraldine Brooks is one of my favorite authors, and here she presents the Muslim women’s point of view. How it is similar and different across the Middle East, minus the rhetoric. A must read.
