Zulaikha<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Toronto: Inanna, 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Publisher’s Synopsis (From its website) <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In the winter of 2007, returning home from visiting her son in Amsterdam, Zulaikha accidentally runs into Kia, a family friend she hasn\u2019t seen for many years. Kia\u2019s father has passed away and he is flying home to attend his funeral. In a shocking twist, Zulaikha suspects that Kia may have had information about Zulaikha\u2019s missing brother, Hessam, who disappeared shortly following the murder of their mutual friend, Abbass, during the Iran\u2013Iraq War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the flight is suddenly cancelled, Zulaikha is taken into custody and questioned about her relationship with Kia by the European airport security. A day later, in Tehran, the Iranian authorities have their own agenda for intimidating her. A tense thriller explores the impacts of war and oppression through a sprawling, tender, imperfect love story, scored with the notes of the Arabic and Persian music and poetry that grace so many Middle Eastern lives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
