We're Briefly Gorgeous and A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, an
unforgettable story about female friendship and queer love in a
Muslim-American community "Stunningly beautiful." --The New York
Times Book Review "An unforgettable voice that moves you from the
start." --People Magazine Razia Mirza grows up amid the wild grape
vines and backyard sunflowers of Corona, Queens, with her best
friend, Saima, by her side. When a family rift drives the girls
apart, Razia's heart is broken. She finds solace in Taslima, a new
girl in her close-knit Pakistani-American community. They embark on
a series of small rebellions: listening to scandalous music,
wearing miniskirts, and cutting school to explore the city. When
Razia is accepted to Stuyvesant, a prestigious high school in
Manhattan, the gulf between the person she is and the daughter her
parents want her to be, widens. At Stuyvesant, Razia meets Angela
and is attracted to her in a way that blossoms into a new
understanding. When their relationship is discovered by an Aunty in
the community, Razia must choose between her family and her own
future. Punctuated by both joy and loss, full of '80s music and
beloved novels, Roses, in the Mouth of a Lion is a new classic: a
fiercely compassionate coming-of-age story of a girl struggling to
reconcile her heritage and faith with her desire to be true to
herself.
