Martha Iwan will lead a discussion on the Fiction title 
Place for Us by Fatima Farheen Mirza 

"A Place for Us resonates at the crossroads of culture, character, storytelling and poignancy."
BookPage

“Extraordinary in its depth and diligence... Mirza adeptly revisits painful dilemmas from each narrator’s perspective, revealing jolting secrets. Each complex, surprising character struggles with faith, responsibility, racism, fear, longing, and jealousy, while Mirza conveys with graceful specificity the rhythms of Muslim life, from prayer to wearing hijab, gender etiquette, food, holidays, and values, all of which illuminate universal quandaries about family, self, culture, beliefs, and generational change.”
