Second-generation Londoner Sami Traifi's life is in turmoil. Unsure where it
went wrong - or how to put it right - he makes a brief trip to visit relatives in
Damascus. But there - courtesy of a nasty family secret-things only seen to

Back home in London, the non -believer Sami must face up to his fraying
marriage, his wife's decision to wear the hijab and her brother's hip-hop
Islamism. And these are the least of his problems. He wants to be a good
British citizen - but he's not sure what that means any more. He must ask

choices affect not only us, but also those we love the most.
