Each wants something more out of life, but fears the cost of taking it. Salma is successful and happily married, but tempted to risk it all when she's contacted by her first love back in Egypt; Moni gave up a career in banking to care for her disabled son without the help of her indifferent husband; and Iman, in her twenties and already on her third marriage, longs for the freedom and autonomy she's never known. When the women are visited by the Hoopoe, a sacred bird from Muslim and Celtic literature, they are compelled to question their relationships to faith and femininity, love, loyalty, and sacrifice"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Muslim women $z Great Britain $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Muslims $z Great Britain $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Automobile travel $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Self-realization $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Magic realism (Literature) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Magic realist fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 10 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305020040.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012015459.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20221005015954.0 952 $l DMPC403 $d 20220806010806.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20220728011127.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722062306.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200804015907.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20200402010440.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20200314010321.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200219010210.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=820AC8EA52E511EAA613AE5697128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
