<p>In the spirit of Amy Tan’s international bestselling novel <em>The Joy Luck Club</em>, <em>Mirrors and Mirages</em> is an intricately woven, deftly told story that follows the lives of women and their daughters.</p><p>In <em>Mirrors and Mirages</em>, Monia Mazigh lets us into the lives of six women. They are immigrant mothers — Emma, Samia, and Fauzia — guardians of tradition who want their daughters to enjoy freedom in Western society. They are daughters — Lama, Sally, and Louise, a young woman who converted to Islam for love — university students who are clever and computer savvy. They decide for themselves whether or not to wear a veil, or niqab. Gradually, these women cross paths, and, without losing their authenticity, they become friends and rivals, mirrors and mirages of each other.</p>
