Story is about a refugee coming to Canada from Somalia. Gives a good prospective of differences with in the muslim religion. A young white british women is orphaned due to her hippie parents being murdered . She is adopted and brought up as a Sufi Muslim in Morocco. When she moves to Harar, Ethiopia ( stricter muslim area) she is called a ferungi a foreigner . Despite being brought up as a devout Muslim she is seen as a white women. She eventually has to leave Harar due to her political affiliation with a deposed, corrupt emperor. She moves to London , England in the 1980's . She once again experiences racial prejudices on many levels.. It is written in a poetic fashion. A very good read.
