Coming of Age | Fiction Literary
An unforgettable debut novel about two young people searching for better lives, and the blossoming forbidden romance between them that threatens their families and futures—a breathtaking story perfect for fans of Colm Tóibín and Monica Ali.
Mira’s days are filled with duty and light on freedom. In a new country, living with a husband she barely knows—and who she fears she’ll never love—Mira is desperate to discover all that her new life in England might offer.
And then there’s Tahliil. The quiet, beautiful man she sees at work each day. With a depth in his eyes and a face full of questions. He's the first person in this new world who listens to Mira’s hopes for who she yearns to become.
But beyond their lunchtime encounters, the pair couldn't lead more different lives: the duties that bind them, the homes they are trying to build threaten to subsume them. As Mira and Tahliil navigate the deep and turbulent waters of their new worlds, can they find a way to be together, and will finding each other set them free?
