An Emotion Of Great Delight

€10.50

From bestselling author of the Shatter Me series and the National Book Award-nominated A Very Large Expanse of Sea, Tahereh Mafi, comes a stunning novel about love and loneliness, navigating dual-identity as a Muslim teenager in America, and reclaiming your right to joy. It's 2003. It's been several months since the US officially declared war on Iraq, and the political world has evolved.

Shadi, who wears hijab (a visible allegiance to Islam) keeps her head down. Hate crimes are spiking. Undercover FBI agents are infiltrating mosques and interrogating members of the congregation, and the local Muslim community is beginning to fracture.

Shadi hears the fights after services, the arguments between families about what it means to be Muslim, about what they should be doing and saying as a community but she does not engage. She's too busy drowning in her own troubles to find the time to deal with bigots. Shadi is named for joy, but she's haunted by sorrow.

Her brother is dead, her father is dying, her mother is falling apart, and her best friend has mysteriously dropped out of her life. And then, of course, there's the small matter of her heart. It's broken. Shadi has tried to navigate the remains of her quickly-shattering world by soldiering through, saying nothing, until finally, one day, everything changes.
She explodes.

Perfect for fans of the Shatter Me series as well as Angie Thomas's The Hate U Give and Nicola Yoon's The Sun is Also A Star.

Product description

Bestselleru sērijas “Shatter Me” un Nacionālās grāmatas balvai nominētās “An Emotion Of Great Delight” autores Tahereh Mafi jauns, satriecošs romāns par mīlestību un vientulību, orientējoties divējādā identitātē kā musulmaņu pusaudze Amerikā un atgūstot savas tiesības uz prieku.

Ir 2003. gads. Ir pagājuši vairāki mēneši, kopš ASV oficiāli pieteica karu Irākai, un politiskā pasaule ir mainījusies.

Šadi, kura nēsā hidžabu (redzama uzticība islāmam), klusi turas maliņā. Naida noziegumi palielinās. Slepenie FIB aģenti iefiltrējas mošejās un iztaujā draudzes locekļus, un vietējā musulmaņu kopienā sākas šķelšanās.

Šadi dzird strīdus pēc dievkalpojumiem, strīdus starp ģimenēm par to, ko nozīmē būt musulmaņiem, par to, kas viņiem būtu jādara un jāsaka kā kopienai, bet viņa neiesaistās. Viņa ir pārāk aizņemta, slīkstot savās nepatikšanās, lai atrastu laiku nodarboties ar to. Šadi ir radīta priekam, bet viņu vajā skumjas.

Viņas brālis ir miris, tēvs mirst, māte sabrūk, un viņas labākais draugs ir noslēpumaini pazudis no viņas dzīves. Un tad, protams, vēl tāds sīkums kā viņas sirds. Tā ir salauzta. Šadi ir mēģinājusi savākt savas ātri brūkošās pasaules atliekas, neko neteikdama, līdz beidzot kādu dienu viss mainās.
Viņa eksplodē.
Ideāli piemērota grāmata sērijas "Shatter Me", Endžijas Tomasas "The Hate U Give" un Nikolas Jūnas "The Sun is a Star" faniem.
