Turbulence
by Hafsa Lodi
Summary
What happens when the life you carefully built begins to feel like a life you never chose?
Dunya Dawood once dreamed of becoming a documentary filmmaker. Then she fell in love, married, and moved to the Middle East, where her ambitions gradually gave way to the demands of domestic life. A decade later, pregnant with her second child, she boards a flight to New York and finds herself unexpectedly separated from her husband and young son in business class.
For the first time in years, Dunya has space to think. As the plane crosses continents, she revisits the decisions that brought her here, questioning the compromises she made between love, faith, family expectations, and her own ambitions. But when a shocking discovery triggers an unexpected crisis mid-flight, she faces a decision that could change everything.
In Turbulence, Hafsa Lodi explores the complicated intersection of Muslim identity, feminism, marriage, and motherhood. Thoughtful and emotionally intimate, the novel asks whether women can challenge the expectations placed upon them without abandoning the people and beliefs they hold dear.
