Overview
āMohamed builds a rich and harrowing worldāand finds every place a fascinating story might be hiding.ā āMattie Lubchansky, editor of The Nib
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 bureauĀcracy and inequality for the right to haveāand makeāthat 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 āfixā 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 doesnāt want to use their wish.Ā Deena Mohamed brings to life a cast of characters whose struggles and triumphs are heartbreaking, inspiring, and deeply resonant.
Although their stories are fantasticalāfeaturing talking donkeys, dragons, and cars that can magically avoid trafficāeach of these people grapples with the very real challenge of trying to make their most deeply held desires come true.
