Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Feyi is dazzled by the beauty of the landscape on the drive from the airport to Alim’s house. Occasional eye contact with Alim in the rearview mirror leaves her flustered. Feyi thinks it looks like a fairyland, and Alim says it is family land with their blood in it. The house also overwhelms her with its beauty. There is original artwork hanging throughout by artists Feyi knows and admires, and she and Alim talk about how Feyi worries her work will end up with old white collectors rather than its true people. He insists Feyi call him Alim and settles down with a book while Nasir takes her to her room, which is full of glass, and looks down on a garden. She feels unprepared for how beautiful the house is, and Nasir says he did not want her to think he was bragging.
Feyi calls Joy, who is thrilled Nasir’s father is the celebrity chef. Feyi confesses that she is attracted to him. Joy suggests Feyi is getting worried about where she and Nasir are heading and so is blowing up their relationship. She reminds Feyi that Nasir is crazy about her. Nasir interrupts, telling her it’s time for lunch.
