None of us were impressed with this rambling diatribe, with very little story development and virtually no climaxes. In fact, most of the avid readers in our club barely finished! I only got to page 63 and lost interest - very rare.

We would not recommend this book!

very interesting book but make sure you leave a few weeks to read it. It is 450 pages and very dense. But amazing writing and interesting subject matter.

Torn between east and west; secular atheism and Islamic religious fanaticism; personal happiness and being true to one's convictions, Ka is truly stuck in the middle. Ka has entered a world where no common ground exists and any directions he takes is the wrong way. The fact that either the putting on or taking off of a head scarf is considered a radical act depending on one's perspective exemplifies the wide gulf between the factions.
