{"product_id":"9780802145338","title":"Butterfly Mosque","description":"The Butterfly Mosque, journalist G. Willow Wilson's remarkable story of converting to Islam and falling in love with an Egyptian man in a volatile post-9\/11 world, was praised as \"an eye-opening look at a misunderstood and often polarizing faith\" (Booklist) and \"a tremendously heartfelt, healing crosscultural fusion\" (Publishers Weekly). Inspired by her experience during a college Islamic Studies course, Wilson, who was raised an atheist, decides to risk everything to convert to Islam and embark on a fated journey across continents and into an uncertain future. She settles in Cairo, where she attempts to submerge herself in a culture based on her adopted religion and where she meets Omar, a man with a mild resentment of the Western influences in his homeland. They begin a daring relationship that calls into question the very nature of family, belief, and tradition. Torn between the secular West and Muslim East, Wilson records her intensely personal struggle to forge a \"third culture\" that might accommodate her values without compromising them or the friends and family on both sides of the divide.","brand":"G Willow Wilson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45864673050942,"sku":"9780802145338","price":430.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9780802145338_203195e1-0e08-4908-96ff-9299234827ff.jpg?v=1707329567","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9780802145338","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
