Reader recommendation: Painted Hands

Monitor readers share their favorite book picks.

I just read Painted Hands, by Jennifer Zobair. It's a novel in which the lead characters are strong independent Muslim-American women. It's a great story and I always enjoy a peek into a world or culture I know little about. I think it could go a long way to healing some perceptions. I really enjoyed the book and I can't stop thinking about it. Book club anyone?
