Catholic schoolgirls growing up on Long Island Lorraine and Suzanne
are inseparable best friends--until their college years manage to break
that bond. "The Strings of the Lute" is a story of a clash of
civilizations, as Lorraine falls for a Moroccan man whom she bears a
child with and follows back to Morocco. Suzanne discovers this and
follows Lorraine with a hidden agenda, to bring Lorraine's child
home with her for a more Catholic upbringing in spite of Suzanne's
new husband. The conflicts of culture, religion, and background come to
ahead in a deftly written piece of literature, "The Strings of the
Lute" is highly recommended for community library fiction shelves
everywhere.
