Between Two Moons -A Novel
Aisha Abdel Gawad's "Between Two Moons" is a charming and essentially arriving at family story that dives into the intricacies of character, sureness, and having a spot an inside the Muslim transient area of Waterway Edge, Brooklyn. Set during the leaned toward month of Ramadan, the story pivots twin sisters Amira and Lina as they stand on the cusp of adulthood, planning to progress forward from helper school.
