“From the first page, Silken Gazelles is a lush, shimmering portrait of a small community in the mountains of Oman, filled with women who love and care for one another, who fight for their dreams, and whose desire for independence and passion charts their course through the world far from their village. Two girls raised as sisters are separated by a series of tragedies, and forever they seek each other, the bonds of childhood forever etched in memory. The women in this novel are unforgettable, and I can’t stop thinking of them. Jokha Alharthi is among my favorite novelists—and this book is transcendent.” —Susan Straight, author of Mecca and In the Country of Women
