Ijtihad - independent reasoning - is intrinsic to Islamic scholarship. Some readers will bristle to read this section, other may have their own interpretations. Before the prophetic visions, Muhammad was drawn to monotheistic thinkers, troubled about his wealth and privilege. They carry on, in the creative space between two wilfully ignorant civilisations.Īslan locates Islam in the historical landscape, unpicks myths and gives us a rounded Prophet, who was a man steeped in the influence of Christianity and Judaism. Ramadhan is labelled "dangerous", denied a visa to take up a post in the US Aslan is branded a "fundamentalist". So much easier to do business with tyrants, autocrats and lackeys. However, confused and solipsistic, the authorities in the US and UK cannot deal with audacious reformers whose intellect challenges their stereotypes and geopolitical games. In No god but God, internationally acclaimed scholar Reza Aslan explains Islam-the origins and evolution of the faith-in all its beauty and complexity. No God But God fills that gap, addressing issues of belief- the difference between the Quran and the Bible, the meaning of the Hajj, the Muslim relationship. Aslan is acutely perceptive when he writes that 11 September was as much a manifestation of this clash as a blow to the superpower.

And the best person to explain the impossible is a magician. The murderer seems to be utterly impossible. And suicide is out of the question, as there is no trace of a weapon. And the fact that both the door and window to the study, the only entrances, were both locked from the inside. Except that Rees’ housekeeper, someone with a habit of listening at doors, heard her employer in the study making a telephone call after the stranger left. With no one entering the house after the departure of the mysterious visitor, it would seem obvious that he was the murderer. And soon thereafter, Rees is found in his study with his throat cut. After meeting with Rees, the visitor departs. After telling his housekeeper to expect a visitor, a mysterious figure arrives, with his hat and scarf obscuring his face. 1930s London, and famed psychiatrist Dr Anselm Rees is alone in his study.

Remarkably, Nina de Gramont did not need to delve into the imaginary world for these tidbits-the then Home Secretary William Joynson-Hicks did put pressure on police to find the writer, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle really did seek the help of a clairvoyant to find Agatha using one of her gloves as a guide. Over the course of the novel, we come to understand Nan’s purpose in setting her sights on the enigmatic novelist and her husband, and even rooting for our unlikely heroine as she sets out on her quest for justice.Īlong the way, we are met with a series of unexpected twists and turns that Christie herself would be proud of, and a string of extraordinary cameos from some of the most prolific figures of the day.
