Book Synopsis Shubeik Lubeik by : Deena Mohamed

Download or read book Shubeik Lubeik written by Deena Mohamed. This book was released on 2023-01-10. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: • Winner of the Warwick Prize for Women in Translation •Eisner Award Nominee • Hugo Award Nominee A brilliantly original debut graphic novel that imagines a fantastical alternate Cairo where wishes really do come true. Shubeik Lubeik—a fairy tale rhyme that means “your wish is my command” in Arabic—is the story of three people who are navigating a world where wishes are literally for sale. • A Best Book of the Year: The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, NPR “The mythic qualities of Mohamed’s world bring our own world into sharper focus . . . Mohamed’s humor often feels like a protest, as do the thick and assertive lines of her drawings . . . The effect is gritty, brazen, and full of spunk.”—The New Yorker Three wishes that are sold at an unassuming kiosk in Cairo link Aziza, Nour, and Shokry, changing their perspectives as well as their lives. Aziza learned early that life can be hard, but when she loses her husband and manages to procure a wish, she finds herself fighting bureau­cracy and inequality for the right to have—and make—that wish. Nour is a privileged college student who secretly struggles with depression and must decide whether or not to use their wish to try to “fix” this depression, and then figure out how to do it. And, finally, Shokry must grapple with his religious convictions as he decides how to help a friend who doesn’t want to use their wish. Deena Mohamed brings to life a cast of characters whose struggles and triumphs are heartbreaking, inspiring, and deeply resonant. Although their stories are fantastical—featuring talking donkeys, dragons, and cars that can magically avoid traffic—each of these people grapples with the very real challenge of trying to make their most deeply held desires come true.

Book excerpt: The War of 1812 is over, Napoleon has been disposed, but not everyone is at peace. Lady Deena Heyford discovers that on the death of her father, there is nothing left of the estate but a crumbling manor. Having no other options, Deena's solicitor and friend arranges to send her to America to her sister Lizzy who married a colonial many years earlier. She is in for a shock. On her arrival at Three Oaks, she discovers Lizzy is dead. While Lizzy's young daughter accepts Deena, Lizzy's husband, and now guardian, does not want her around. Deena is torn between frustration and anger, and her desire to trust that God knows what he is about. Further, the more she learns about her sister, the more Deena suspects that there was more to her death than she has been told. Kyle won't listen to her suspicions--is it because he knows more than he's willing to say? Will Deena discover the truth before she follows her sister in a dance with death?
