A story about an English orphan girl adopted into the Sufi Islam tradition. Well written and detailed the book tracks the main character, Lilly, through many transitions between girl and woman, "even in a traditional headscarf, Lilly is always marked as a foreigner" (from the books synopsis)
I enjoyed this story as I always enjoy stories that take me on a meandering path toward growth and enlightenment. It revealed a struggle that I am unfamiliar with in a fascinating style and I would recommend it any anyone. We read it for our "Walk around the World" book group.
