ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK
In the 1880s, a gathering of German-speaking Mennonites known as the Lady People group followed the charming visionary Claas Epp on a nerve-racking excursion into pre-Soviet Uzbekistan. Samatar dream writer, teacher of African and Arabic writing, and a little girl of Swiss Mennonite and Somali Muslim guardians—narrates her excursion during those old strides of the lady people group. She intertwines this verifiable story with her very own set of experiences and a reiteration of strict, scholarly, and philosophical texts. "It's the difference, the incoherency, that joy," she composes. Samatar, a relative of Swiss-German Mennonites and Somali Muslims, went to Khiva, Uzbekistan, in a reproduction of an 1880s journey by Mennonite adherents. Samatar found inside the walled nursery of Ak Metchet a narrative of a small but solid Christian people group whose culture, customs, and stories outlasted their 50 years of dwelling in the dominatingly Muslim region.
