Description

Shuna's family home stands as a gateway to her dual identity. On one side lies a devout Muslim girl, eager to absorb the teachings of the Prophet and live up to her family's expectations. On the other, a rebellious young woman who longs for freedom and self-expression. As Shuna navigates her complex relationships with her parents and fiancé, she must confront the contradictions between her two personas. Her wedding day presents an opportunity to reconcile these conflicting desires, but also raises questions about her place in the world and the expectations of those around her. This poignant and thought-provoking graphic novel explores themes of identity, faith, and belonging, offering a nuanced and deeply personal portrayal of a young woman's struggles with her own values and loyalties.
