Dear Andrea, on your travails into Islam, did you read anything on shia Islam? Dr. Tijani’s “When I was guided” can really help you and answer a lot of your questions. Do you know Imam Ali and Lady Fatima Zahra (SAW) whose status are after the Prophet’s (SAW). Don’t be biased. there is a more forceful, knowledge based, loving and freer Islam, fiercely intellectual, passionately loving as in Imam Husain (AS) the Prophet’s grandson and the waiting for a better world in justice and peace through the awaiting of the messiah mahdi (AS) who will come with the reappearance of Jesus Christ and bring the messge of unitarianism and surrender to the one Lord to the whole world. Willing to answer any of your questions love, zahra

Salaam!
Thanks for the suggestion; I love Satrapi’s work (Embroideries is my fav), and I’ve read Ebadi’s memoir. I’ll definitely be looking this one up when I get a little time!

Dear Andrea Useem,

I read Crows in the Nightengale’s Tree by Shareen Azimi a couple of weeks ago, on vacation, and concur completely with your evaluation of it. It is a real surprise, dramatic, tragic yet good humored, well structured, with entirely credible characters; and the clear stream of her writing carries one along without effort. It’s a rare event, no? A book that moves smoothly from Los Angeles and Berkeley halfway around the world and back again and keeps us in its grip all along the way. This book deserves a wide readership. Thanks!
Michael W.
