This stellar book displayed the raw grief after 9/11 and paranoia towards Muslims ten years on in an ingenious way. Highly recommend.

A jury gathers in Manhatten to choose the perfect memorial design. Except the anonymous winner is Mohammad Khan - a Muslim. What follows is a battle for power as his only jury defender, widow Claire, is pressured to denounce him. When news of his win leaks to the press, outraged family members, hungry journalists, roused activists and Mo himself join the debate on how best to understand a national tragedy.

How relevant is Mo's observation that "Someone among them understood the manipulation of space" today?
