I love multicultural stories, especially ones about the Muslim experience in the US. Please enter me.
Well first of all, you loved it, which is generally a good sign. Secondly, I love multicultural fiction because I love getting to walk a mile in the shoes of someone with a different background than myself. Besides, I have no idea when my library will finish processing it.
I'll blog about it Saturday in my link roundup!

One of the reasons I love reading is the escape to another country or life, unlike my own. I would love to be entered in this drawing. Thanks! Indigo

I would love to read this book because it chronicles a woman's reaction to a situation that I think we're all wondered "what would I do?" about.

I want to read this because I've heard good things about it and I think it's important for us to remember that we all suffer when terrorists strike, regardless of our individual nationalities and beliefs. Thank you for the chance to move this from my Wish List to my nightstand!

I want to read it because the author is from Pakistan, and I spent three weeks there at Christmas and would really really like to soak in the author's perspective.

This is a wonderful giveaway! I would love an opportunity to be entered into this contest for a couple of reasons - first, the title is what drew me to read this post. The word Saffron is wonderful. Also, I follow Shaila Abdullah on Twitter and I enjoy her tweets and website.
Thanks to both of you for the opportunity!

My favorite fiction deals with a culture other than my own. So, this would fit that mold perfectly.
I have read several great reviews on this book and it is on my wishlist. Please include me in your giveaway.
Thanks

I would love to read this book because I am interested in reading about a Muslim person's point of view about life in the US around the time of Sept 11th.

I would love to read this because I feel like I do not know much about the Muslim culture and this could help me perhaps understand some of my Muslim friends and acquauintances better.
Thanks for the giveaway :)

I like to read books about different cultures and learn new things. This books sounds like it fits that category. I believe that we can learn so much from each others cultures if we open our minds and hearts.
Thanks for the giveaway.

Sounds terrific! I would love to read this book. Thanks for the giveaway
I would love to be entered to win this one. I loved your review, and I'm a huge fan of multicultural fiction. Thanks for a great giveaway!
I'd love to read this. I enjoy reading about other cultures, and I don't know nearly as much as I should about Muslim traditions.
I have been reading quite a few books on counties and cultures where Muslims are prevalent, and I would love to add this story to my collection
I added this to my to-read list based on your review. I'm growing to enjoy multicultural fiction more. I would love to be entered in the giveaway.
I posted this on my blog, too.

I want to see how such a slim novel about multicultural issues goes beyond just the 9/11 attacks. Thanks for the giveaway.
Being able to read about other cultures, other places is something I have always enjoyed. Actually I loved living in different places throughout the world before settling in NC. So by reading I feel I am in those other places and cultures.
WOW!! What a review. I would love to read this to see what someone from another country thinks of the US and also about 9/11. Being originally from NJ, now living in Wisconsin, 9/11 really hit hard for me.

I've been notorious for judging books by their covers. I have been disappointed but a few times. The cover on this book is beautiful and I would definitely pick it up were I to pass it at the bookstore. I'd love to have a signed copy!
I will also blog about this contest on my site. Will be back later with the link.
I just blogged about your giveaway: http://jmomfinds.amoores.com/2009/04/judging-a-book-by-its-cover/
Thanks!
