The Butterfly Mosque by G. Willow Wilson. The author of this book was here on campus on Friday 1/27. This memoir details her journey as a young American college graduate to Egypt, converting to Islam, falling in love and bridging the gap between two cultures. The book is a love story, an insight into a religion that came sharply into focus after 9/11, and a unique look at the culture and beliefs of the Middle East beyond the media. This book is one of the two
Silicon Valley Reads selections for this year.
