Bird Summons by Leila Aboulela

3.0

This was definitely an interesting read and honestly, I had no idea that the book would take such a wild symbolism turn. the book is about three women who goes on a vacation, each with their own set of problems. they hope the time away will give them comfort, however, the past has a way of catching up with you and you can never outrun your problems.
About halfway in the book, the symbolism kicks in and the weird things happening finally makes sense.
I would definitely recommend this book for someone in searching for some casual reading material. this book also gave me a big insight on Arabic culture and that was interesting to read.
