Praise for Between Two Moons

 “Heartfelt. Moving. Powerful. Between Two Moons is a gorgeously written and profoundly intimate debut.”
—Etaf Rum, author of New York Times bestseller A Woman Is No Man

“Between Two Moons is a generous, beautiful portrait of both the joys and fears of Muslim life, one that doesn’t treat lived experience only as tragedy. It is a moving look at family, survival, and celebration, one that will echo for decades.”
—Hanif Abdurraqib, author of A Little Devil in America

“Between Two Moons is a story about the place so many Arabs in this part of the world have been forced to inhabit in the post-911 age: that malicious, disorienting chasm between the hope of being seen and the fear of being watched.”
—Omar El Akkad, author of What Strange Paradise and American War

“The Muslim community in Brooklyn’s Bay Ridge is a world we hardly know, filled with Arab American women who have long been neglected in the white pages of American Letters. In Aisha Gawad’s stylistically superb debut these women are seen, heard, and made known…her bold and dazzling prose illuminates everything.” 
—Ernesto Quiñonez, author of Bodega Dreams
