emotional informative reflective sad fast-paced

5.0

“We all come from somewhere. However, when someone asks where I come from, I pause, for longer than I should, before I answer. And every time I say I am from Syria, I feel like I’m standing at a funeral while Syria lies in an open casket and mourners tell me how sorry they are for my loss.” 

 
i wept for hours.

Really good memoir. Very sad how objectified women were in those areas, and her experiences growing up were really interesting to read about.
