I really love this collection and kept it for re-readingHere's my review:
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
"...A woman falls in love with a djinn—an Islamic spirit that appears to her in the form of a snake—and is riveted by her passions as she describes their encounters: "...sipping the poisons of my desire and exhaling the nectar of my ecstasy."...The life lessons in these stories are rarely about great changes; they are about everyday incidents, the strength and faith needed to live, and always, always about Allah..."
(H.S., p. 214)
