"An absorbing novel . . . reminds us of the complexity of the web woven by those threads of faith, nationality, politics and history."--New York Times Book Review "Aboulela has written a book for grown-ups... that speaks more forcefully than a thousand opinion pieces...she has done more than breathe life into legend." --San Francisco Chronicle From the first ever winner of the Caine Prize for African Writing, Leila Aboulela, The Kindness of Enemies is a powerful historical journey across time and continents and a riveting epic of love, betrayal, and war. It's 2010 and Natasha, a half-Russian, half-Sudanese professor of history, is researching the life of Imam Shamil, the nineteenth century Muslim leader who led the anti-Russian resistance in the Caucasian War. When Natasha discovers her star student, Osama (Oz), is not only descended from the warrior but also possesses Shamil's legendary sword, the Imam's story comes vividly to life. But when Oz is suddenly arrested at his home one morning, Natasha realizes that everything she values stands in jeopardy. Told with Aboulela's inimitable elegance, The Kindness of Enemies is both an engrossing story of a provocative period in history and an important examination of what it is to be a Muslim in a post-9/11 world. "A rich, multilayered story, a whole syllabus of compelling topics. As a novelist, Aboulela moves confidently between dramatizing urgent, contemporary issues and providing her audience with sufficient background to follow these discussions about the changing meaning of jihad, the history of Sufism and the racial politics of the war on terror."--Washington Post "Riveting . . . this novel] hums in hushed and meditative tones through prisoners of war in historic and contemporary fantasy rooted in reality."--Los Angeles TimesBinding Type: Paperback

If you like smoked oysters, you'll LOVE these
Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 12)
These are absolutely the best smoked oysters I’ve ever had. There’s a subtle sweetness underneath that adds a pleasant balance to the smokiness, and the usual seawater “fishy” note is far less pronounced than in many other premium brands—which I find refreshing. No unpleasant aftertaste, either. And as shown, they’re huge!
I think I’ve found my new favorite brand of smoked oysters. I don’t write reviews very often, but Otter Kingdom Premium Smoked Oysters definitely deserved the praise.

These are delectable oysters & love that they're in olive oil!
Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 12)
Our family has been eating oysters for years, but this Otter Kingdom brand has to be the tastiest ever-- tender and flavorful-- Highly Recommended. Re: what a previous reviewer had posted: “These oysters come with a Prop 65 “Reproductive Health” warning on the packaging.” After looking into this Prop 65 warning, I found that most products that come from the ocean could have absorbed mercury, so this California Prop 65 label is stuck on a lot (if not all) of fish/seafood products. But each kind of fish/seafood has a different level of exposure. According to the LiveStrong website article: “Which Fish Has the Highest and Lowest Mercury Levels?” the seafood with the lowest mercury content includes: catfish, clams, crab, herring, OYSTERS, salmon, sardines, shrimp, tilapia fish, tuna fish, among others. These should be eaten no more than 2 to 3 times a week (most people stay within that guideline). It’s the larger-sized fishes that tend to have higher mercury content, so oysters are of no more concern than any other small fish. Just wanted people to not get out bent out of shape about this label. The State of CA has a lot of concerns to deal with-- like wildfire devastation caused by their policy to restrict water from flowing from the north of the state, so it would probably be better for them to focus on THOSE life-endangering issues rather than sticking all these "WARNING" labels on food products! Right?

I Love oysters
Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 4)
These oysters are very good tasting. I eat them with pasta and a few tablespoons of white Alfredo sauce. Yum yum. I've always liked oysters but I can't eat them raw anymore because of my immune system.

Stable, solid, and versatile!
Color: Black, Size: 8 Panel-176'' Wide, Color: Black, Size: 8 Panel-176'' Wide
Exceeded my expectations. Easy, but tedious to assemble. That said, it’s solid, well made, and will last. You can stand it up in a straight line without concern it will fall over. No need to fold it like an accordion for stability. Helped me separate my garage gym from the kids bikes, shelving, paint, tools, and typical garage stuff.
