The Rose of Jericho

Viac o knihe

Like the legendary Rose of Jericho, some people survive in the harshest of proverbial deserts without knowing how much they can bloom in the right oasis. Set against the backdrop of the Iraqi war, Nora (a Muslim) and John (a Christian) crossed paths as compassionate fighters for the weak and downtrodden. Both estranged from their faiths, they yearned for more grounding in the world they found themselves in. The Rose of Jericho personifies the significant psychological struggles that progressive female Muslims shoulder due to the underlying tensions between long-standing traditions and changing social norms.
