The Good Muslim

"Nach Jahren der Abwesenheit reist Maya Haque heim zu ihrer Familie nach Dhaka. Doch was, wenn man feststellen muss, das alles was man zu kennen glaubte, sich vollkommen verändert hat. Wenn man wieder lernen muss, wie man sich als 'gute Tochter' zu benehmen hat? Und was, wenn man zusehen muss, wie der eigene Bruder plötzlich nur noch die Regeln Allahs befolgt?"

One of Granta's Best of Young British Novelists.

After years away from her family, Maya Haque is on the journey home to Dhaka. But what if, as Maya discovers, everything you once knew has changed beyond recognition? What if you must re-learn what it means to be a good daughter? And how do you begin to understand a brother who has taken a path so different from your own? Maya faces these questions and many more in The Good Muslim, an extraordinary novel about faith, family and the long shadow of war.
