About the Book
This story unfolds on campus during an autumn university sojourn. An interesting array of characters unveil the barricades that need dismantling when students face a culture clash, specifically socio-religious-cultural barriers encountered by Muslim and non-Muslim communities. An in-house dormitory assault results in Muslims becoming the prime suspects. This contemporary and evocative piece of writing is based on true characters and a real-life experience undergone at a country university in Australia.
