Translation of: Miroirs et mirages. City : Interligne, 2011.

Translated from the French.

An intricately woven, deftly told story that follows the lives of women and their daughters. They are immigrant mothers - Emma, Samia, and Fauzia - guardians of tradition who want their daughters to enjoy freedom in Western society. They are daughters - Lama, Sally, and Louise, a young woman who converted to Islam for love - university students who are clever and computer savvy. They decide for themselves whether or not to wear a veil, or niqab. Gradually, these women cross paths, and, without losing their authenticity, they become friends and rivals, mirrors and mirages of each other.
