Pick this up if you like introspective, meandering, plotless novels that make your heart swell at the final page. An Omani university student navigates relationships in London while reflecting on her home and women in her circle, particularly her beloved grandma. [if you read Celestial Bodies, this is a more approachable writing style.]
