Sweetness in the Belly

Sweetness in the Belly

Like Brick Lane and The Kite Runner, Camilla Gibbâ€™s widely praised new novel is a poignant and intensely atmospheric look beyond the stereotypes of Islam. After her hippie British parents are murdered, Lilly is raised at a Sufi shrine in Morocco. As a young woman she goes on pilgrimage to Harar, Ethiopia, where she teaches Qurâ€™an to children and falls in love with an idealistic doctor. But even swathed in a traditional headscarf, Lilly canâ€™t escape being marked as a foreigner. Forced to flee Ethiopia for England, she must once again confront the riddle of who she is and where she belongs.
