Bird Summons by Leila Aboulela
4.0
This author is on the recommended list for Reading Women 2021 (one of four).
The story is compelling - long weekend away for three friends with a special quest. Women in various situations taking time for theirselves. The magical realism is foreshadowed early after a tumultuous beginning. Religion and culture. Relationships and power dynamics. And a little bird who tells stories.
The vision at the grave - I like to think the future is always in motion and what was seen was only one possible future.
