Sweetness in the Belly by Camilla Gibb
Requirements: ePub, MOBI Reader 1 MB
Overview: Sweetness in the Belly weaves four years of Lilly’s experiences in Ethiopia with her life in London. The novel opens with Lilly’s exile existence in gloomy London, where she forms a strong friendship with Amina, an Ethiopian refugee. They establish a community association to help reunite family members who have fled Ethiopia. However, both Amina and Lilly have other, less altruistic reasons for their work: Amina is looking for her husband, and Lilly fervently hopes to find the lover she left behind in Ethiopia.
Lilly’s love affair with Aziz begins in Harar, when he treats a young Ethiopian girl who survives a botched circumcision. For the first time, Lilly’s pure and pious life is threatened. When she thinks of Aziz, “the bees would awaken, rush into my throat and dance on the tip of my tongue, depositing pollen between my teeth, making it difficult to recite anything at all.” Throughout, Lilly’s commitment to Islam remains strong, as she unfalteringly teaches the Qu’ran to the poor neighbourhood children and happily embraces Harari customs.
