Description
Bird Summons by Leila Aboulela is a deeply moving exploration of women's lives and experiences. When Salma receives an unexpected visit from her first love, she is tempted to risk everything and return to Egypt. Meanwhile, Iman feels trapped in her third marriage, longing for freedom. On a road trip to the Scottish Highlands, these two women are visited by the Hoopoe, a sacred bird whose fables from Muslim and Celtic literature prompt them to question their choices. As they navigate their complex relationships with faith, love, loyalty, and sacrifice, Salma and Iman are compelled to confront the balance between their desires and the expectations of those around them. Brilliantly imagined and intense, Bird Summons is a powerful exploration of the human experience.
