My knowledge of Sufism was restricted to pictures of the dervishes and I knew nothing else. This story was informative on several issues.
A mother and daughter have been separated for decades but now Layla is almost sure she has found her mother. Two murdered women found in proximity to Layla is too much coincidence not just for the detectives but also to Layla. Mira knows more on the subject and realises that Layla is in grave danger, and that somehow she is the key.
Revealing the truth and her history is painful for Mira, but it is the only way that Layla will accept her abandonment at the orphanage. All the minor characters are themselves of much interest including the cat Gul. The preparation of food which was unique to Layla’s background added another layer of interest.

Same with me, dervishes are all I know
