Ameena Hussein sets her story within Sri Lanka’s closely guarded Muslim community, offering little known insights into customs and traditions. THE MOON IN THE WATER is the story of an educated, urbane, sophisticated Muslim girl whose secure and happy world is shaken when she discovers on her adoptive father’s death that Islam does not recognize the legality of adoption. Embarking on a quest for identity, she searches out a biological brother, and struggles to come to terms with emotional and legal upheaval that threatens to destroy family bonds.
