Summary

Twenty-two-year-old Summer is a force to be reckoned with. She’s funny, she’s stubborn, she’s clever, and she’s very opinionated on life as a millennial Muslim woman. The only problem is that she is dead.

When her younger sister, Sara, finds Summer’s lifeless body on their bathroom floor, Summer can only watch as a devastated Sara calls the rest of her family to announce her death. With no way back to her body and no idea how she died, Summer remains a helpless observer as members of her devoted, dysfunctional family come back home to bury her—and her secrets.

As Summer pieces together the events of the night before, she starts unravelling her whole life: the fabric of her British-Omani-Zanzibari family, the culture clashes, the depression that dogged her for years, and the childhood trauma that changed her forever….

Riveting and heart-breaking, Summer’s haunting story is one you will never forget.

Stunning listen!

An education about Omani/Zanzibar cultures and Islam but overwhelmingly a story that transfixes and then turns into a runaway emotional roller coaster. An easy listen; kept me coming back. So sad it’s over!!

Beautiful story, delivery and ending

Curiousity was where I started.
A gripping story, Heartfelt. By the time I was halfway through I knew there was no stopping till I finished the book.
it's been a while since I did 7 hours listening to a book in one day.
