Book excerpt: Keepers of the Faith is set within a small Muslim sect of India, ruled by an avaricious priesthood that demands absolute submission while enforcing archaic social customs. When a section of the community rebels, it is summarily excommunicated, shunned by friends and family, and denied religious rites. The novel follows the fate of two blissful teenage lovers, Akbar and Rukhsana, whose dreams of a happy life are shattered when their families end up on opposite sides of the communal split.
