Children of Dust

[Eteraz's] adventures are a heavenly read. --<em>O</em> the Oprah magazine<br /><br />In this supremely assured lush and rip-roaring book Eteraz manages to do the impossible gliding confidently over the chasm that divides East and West. Wildly entertaining...memoir of the first order. --Murad Kalam author of <em>Night Journey<br /><br /></em>Ali Eteraz's award-winning memoir reveals the searing spiritual story of growing up in Pakistan under the specter of militant Islamic fundamentalism and then overcoming the culture shock of emigrating to the United States. A gripping memoir evocative of <em>Persepolis</em> <em>Reading Lolita in Tehran</em> and the novel <em>The Kite Runner</em> Eteraz's narrative is also a cathartic chronicle of spiritual awakening. Yael Goldstein Love author of <em>Overture</em> calls <em>Children of Dust</em> a gift and a necessity [that] should be read by believers and nonbelievers alike.<br />
