Rajia Hassib is an Egyptian-born American novelist whose two books explore life between Egypt and the United States. In the Language of Miracles (2015), her debut, follows an Egyptian-American family in a New Jersey suburb dealing with the aftermath of tragedy and the weight of community judgment. A Pure Heart (2019) moves between New York and Cairo, examining how two sisters choose different paths shaped by faith, politics, and love.
Hassib draws on her own experience of living between two cultures, and her novels are marked by a careful attention to the ways people construct identity when pulled between different worlds.
