Description:... With wry humor and a sharp eye on a contemporary and modern Muslim family, this narrative introduces the Cachalia family--mother, father, and twins Zakir and Zakira. While Zakira's parents try to keep her on a short leash and have set her up with the devout heir to a sheep fortune, she and her brother are much more interested in living a less-than-sedate and distinctly nonobservant lifestyle.
