A brilliantly original debut graphic novel that imagines a
fantastical Cairo where wishes really do come true. Deena Mohamed
brings to life a cast of characters whose struggles and triumphs
are heartbreaking, inspiring and deeply resonant. Your Wish is My
Command is the story of three people who are navigating a world
where wishes are literally for sale. Mired as they are in
bureaucracy and the familiar prejudices of our world, the wishes
that are more expensive are more likely to work as intended. Three
wishes 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
unreasonable regulations and inequality for the right to have - and
make - that 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 'fix' this depression. And, finally, Shokry
must grapple with his religious convictions as he decides how to
help a friend who doesn't want to use their wish. Although their
stories are fantastical, each of these people wrestles with the
very real challenge of trying to make their most deeply held
desires come true.
