her passion for her creator did shine through during the story. Each woman was passionate about different things. Whereas Miriam lacked passion in her marriage with Yasir, she had a devotion to her faith. Nadia had such a strong, passionate love for her son she would fight beyond any measure or restriction to make a good life for him. Nadia compromised family ties and a stable income for her son’s sake. Malika was passionate about life as a whole, making her my favorite character. This character was eager to learn and I could feel her strong desire to taste life. She lost some of this passion for a fraction of time, but gained it back with a different, wiser perspective.
