It was interesting however, to see sexuality written & portrayed in this book by (presumably) a muslim author - particularly when considering Islamic beliefs surrounding modesty, in contrast to the actions of Wad Rayyes & co.
For the most part it’s beautifully written, albeit some scenes confronting (particularly that with Wad Rayyes & Houda I believe her name was) - which I am now scarred by.
+ it was sickening to read about Mustafa Sa’eed and the things he’d done to numerous women despite ‘not being a threat’.

As a woman tbh it was kind of hard to read just like the language and the men’s discourse around women just made me sad but that’s pretty much the point of the book.
Definitely no realistic women in this and no women acting independently of men, but i understand that that’s a literary tool for the message.
