Summary
At the end of the nineteenth century in Libya, eleven-year-old Malika simultaneously enjoys and feels constricted by the narrow world of Muslim women, but an injured stranger enters her home and disrupts the traditional order of things.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: IN THE LIBYAN CITY of Ghadames, Malika watches her merchant father depart on one of his caravan expeditions. She too yearns to travel to distant cities, and longs to learn to read like her younger brother. But nearly 12 years old, and soon to be of marriagable age, Malika knows thatâlike all Muslim womenâshe must be content with a more secluded, more limited life. Then one night a stranger enters her home . . . someone who disrupts the traditional order of thingsâand who affects Malika in unexpected ways.
âI was enchanted by this story of a brave Berber girl who dares to dream and its filigree of details about harem life, ancient trade routes, goddesses and healers. The real beauty of The Shadows of Ghadames is that it transcends the exotic to explore universal truths about the condition of being human.ââSuzanne Fisher Staples, author of Newbery Honor Book,
Shabanu: Daughter of the Wind
