(Fiction, 288 pp. 2018)
The story of a Berkeley literature student exploring his Jewish mother and Muslim father’s tangled roots in the history of Cairo’s ancient synagogue is intertwined with that of British twin sisters, Agnes and Margaret, who in 1897 depart Cambridge on a mission to rescue sacred texts that have begun to disappear from the synagogue.
