When Bilal's mother dies, her dying wish is for him to build a mosque and return to his Islamic Faith.
Bilal lives in a rural village called Babbel's End which is picturesque and steeped in history with his family. The villagers are very set in their ways and we follow Bilal as he sets out to fulfill his mother's wish.
My thoughts:
This is a beautiful story one which I thoroughly enjoyed.
It also made me incredibly sad and angry at the overt and subtle racism that Bilal and his family had to endure.
I love the backdrop of the idyllic village and found the prose very descriptive.
Full of unlikely friendships, beautiful prose and characters that you will really champion this is an easy 5-star read for me.
I love books set around different cultures and this really does give you an insight into Islamic culture and the Dynamics in a Muslim family.
Such a beautiful book
