The Memory of Hands

The Memory of Hands is a collection of stories which is at once turbulent and real, sometimes frightening and evocative, but yet so lucid that "...you can catch it and hold it for a moment or two in the palm of your hand." These ten stories by Muslim American author Reshma Baig straddle the worlds of memories, dreams and reality. Told with insight and sensitivity, they intimately explore the oftentimes complicated lives of the Muslim immigrant diaspora in New York city.
