Scientist Amal and her blind sister Mehwish, their heretical grandfather Zahoor, and Noman, the young man who changes all their livesthese are the four shifting chambers who make the heart of The Geometry of God, the new novel from lauded Pakistani writer Uzma Aslam Khan.

This is a book to be savored, as the sisters show us: digging as Amal does toward the novels deepest questions about love and knowledge and faith, moving as Mehwish does to the rhythms of an abundant and original language.
