What would you do if your whole world came crashing down?
Broken
promises of love. Deceits of life. Safiya is deep in despair and nearing
self-destruction. But a chance opportunity to escape suicidal misery
beckons her.
Millions said ‘it is the land of wishes’. Mecca -
Saudi Arabia. Millions said ‘it is a life changing journey’. Hajj - the
pilgrimage.
England to Arabia. Thrown into garments resembling a
death shroud she embarks on the Hajj and enters the spellbinding world
of ancient Islamic practices. To save herself. Alongside three million
foreign and unpredictable pilgrims she makes her weeping wish in the
celestial palace of Mecca. She camps with Ethiopian peasants and Arab
Kings, faces the supernatural in the deserts and catches a
spine-chilling glimpse of the end of the world. She uncovers love for a
man she has never met and hatred for a hidden enemy. She risks her life
for a fleeting obsession and steps into a perilous ritual where others
had been killed.
But will her wish come true? Or will it end badly?
Three
Thousand Miles for a Wish is a deeply moving, mystical and powerful
story of a young woman’s real-life quest for happiness. It captures the
soul with remarkable potency as it takes the reader, in a way never done
before, on ‘the greatest trip on earth.’
