Hello everyone,
Today Novel Moments is excited to be celebrating the release of Shadow on the Wall by Pavarti K. Tyler. Without wasting time, let's find out more about this new interesting book.
BLURB: Recai Osman: Muslim, philosopher, billionaire
and Superhero?
Controversial
and daring, Shadow on the Wall details the transformation of Recai Osman from complicated
man to Superhero. Forced to witness the cruelty of the Morality Police in his
home city of Elih, Turkey, Recai is called upon by the power of the desert to
be the vehicle of change. Does he have the strength to answer Allah's call or
will his dark past and self doubt stand in his way?
Pulling
on his faith in Allah, the friendship of a Jewish father-figure and a deeply
held belief that his people deserve better, Recai Osman must become The
SandStorm.
In
the tradition of books by Margaret Atwood and Salman Rushdie, Shadow on the
Wall tackles issues of religion, gender, corruption and the basic human
condition. Beautiful and challenging, this is not a book to miss.
EXCERPT
Knock. Just one solid
sound.
Recai sat up too quickly and fell back against his mattress
gasping as Rebekah stuck her head into his small room, her face creased with
worry and fear.
“Cover yourself and stay silent,” she whispered before closing the
door and rushing back into the living room to retrieve her burqa and open the
door. Recai heard the movement of the heavy fabric she wore on top of her house
dress as she moved across the room to greet their visitor. He wondered if she
had retrieved her father’s gun which he’d overheard Hasad say was under the
couch in the living room.
Before hiding beneath the thin sheet that covered him, he reached
down and pulled the rug from the floor and threw it across his legs. He covered
his head and melted against the wall with the pillow on top of his upper body.
Feeling foolish, Recai laid there, wishing he had his ID, his phone, anything
to help bribe his way out of this situation if it was indeed the RTK at the
door.
Perhaps it’s just a
neighbor, he thought. A neighbor come to ask after Rebekah’s father’s health or to borrow
some salt. His attempt at rationalizing the unexpected visit did not quell
his fears. The RTK made a habit of performing home inspections, especially if
they suspected a woman alone. It wasn’t a safe time for anyone under the jurisdiction
of Mayor Yilmaz.
