RSVP Rice and Stew Very Plenty by Nazlin Rahemtulla With Marg Fairweather

This compelling autobiography chronicles the life of Nazlin Rahemtulla, an Ismaili Muslim. Nazlin vividly depicts the origins of Ismailism, and traces her ancestry to the Gujarat in western India. The migration of her grandparents and parents to Uganda follows.
