Glad that, after being skeptical and almost giving it up at first, you also ascribed the same word to it that I did (and can probably see why I was doing so stinkin' many miles on the elliptical for a night and day there so I could read it).
I can totally see why you were doing miles on the elliptical to read it. I think Sisters in War will be the next read.
And holy cow - the ending just left me wanting more and asking what has happened since - what was it like when they came back to America, what did Omar think, etc. And it raised a TON of questions, especially after those Sunday night teaching sessions. Plus, I felt like she described the whole "third culture" thing more vividly and accurately than anything I've ever seen, the experiences of being between cultures. It was worth reading just for that. We will definitely have to talk more about this one :D It might be one of my favorites yet (though the Invisible Women one is close)
