When she meets Simon, a white guy, she hopes that his decision to convert to Islam will be enough to keep everyone happy. However, as Simon begins to explore his faith, Rumi&rsquo,s world spins off its axis in ways she could never have predicted.&lsquo,Mir&rsquo,s writing is side-achingly funny...hits both a zeitgeist and the universality of coming to terms with your own identity&rsquo, FemaleArts  ,_,
