Minaret novel6/28/2023 ![]() ![]() What I found so interesting about this period in Najwa’s life is her complete obliviousness to the world outside her privileged life. We’re also told that the family servants pray more than she does. In fact, she tells the reader that the extent of her religion extends to fasting during Ramadan and charity work with her mother. During this period Najwa isn’t very religious. Najwa herself is consumed with fashion, pop music and her social circle. Her brother Omar is carefree and more concerned with parties and the latest trends than with school or the aspirations his father has for him. Her father is an advisor to the president, her mother a housewife who spends lots of time doing philanthropy. In the first, she is part of an elite family in the Sudan. The book goes back and forth between two periods in Najwa’s life. ![]()
