I read that one a few weeks ago! But I'll probably have to read it again for a lot of the details to sink in. D: I did love it, though. It put everything I knew about Islam (mostly just from world religions classes and scattered reading online) into a very clear historical and cultural context, showing why and where those traditions and beliefs originated, rather than just the fact that they exist. And all I knew about Khadija before was that she existed, but now I know that she was awesome.

Yeah, me too. Well I knew a bit about it, but nothing clicked as much until I read this.
