The colour of God : a story of family and faith
Chaudhry, Ayesha S.2022
Book
'The Colour of God' is the heartfelt story of a South Asian Muslim child raised in Canada, born to parents who embraced a puritanical version of Islam to shield them from racism. The author examines the joys and sorrows of growing up in a fundamentalist Muslim household, wedding grand historical narratives of colonialism and migration to the small intimate heartbreaks of modern life. A crisis of faith, brought on by the sudden death of a loved one, led her to re-examine the beliefs and ideals she was raised with. She invites us to reimagine our own ideas of self and family, of state and citizenship, of love and loss.
