The Translator

When the viewpoint seems so rare, it makes you realize just how rare it is to have a muslim woman tell her own story and express her feelings in fiction. But it's not to be read just for it's particular point of view - it is also a beautiful story of being and loving and being alien in your own culture as well as the one you're living in. The contrasts and the sameness, the love and loss that goes with human migration.
You should definitely read Aboulela, and not just for the diversity!

I heard her reading on BBC Radio 4, quite a long time ago, and I think I've read this one - The Translator - I remember the plot, and quite a lot about the cold in Aberdeen.
