I recently finished Fatima Farheen Mirza’s “A Place For Us” and it was really great! It spans several decades telling the story of an Indian-American Muslim family. The story begins with a wedding in the near present day where the family is reunited with a brother that’s been estranged for a few years and from there the timeline jumps around to tell the story of just how their relationship became so fractured.
I found it really well done how the author weaved the aftermath of 9/11 into the story, showing how completely innocent Muslims were affected as well. It’s a great read for those who love slow burning family dramas!
