The Geometry of God Book

Loved this story set in 1990s Pakistan. It's narrated by several characters, most memorably the girl who, blind from early childhood, commits amusing misspellings as she tells her story in total innocence. She communes with God whom she affectionately calls "Clog." She experiences God through zauq, immediate sensual joy. Her sister and grandfather are memorable for their struggles as scientists in a society where advocates of the scientific method are treated suspiciously as potential enemies of religion and are subject to violence -- to say nothing of the double prejudice heaped upon a woman scientist, where young women are not supposed to socialize with men and are supposed to marry as quickly as possible. The sister and grandfather experience the sacred through khayal, intellect.
