Bird Summons by Leila Aboulela

3.0

This book cover randomly caught my attention when I was browsing and I decided to give it a try.

We follow three friends, Salma, Moni, and Iman, from a Muslim Women's group who are taking a trip to the Scottish Highlands. Each individual has their own personal struggle that overshadows the trip and threatens to disrupt their friendship. This road trip paves the way for a spiritual journey the women weren't expecting.

I appreciated that this book provided a small window into a culture I am less familiar with.
