A review by pogue
Yummah by Sarah A. Al Shafei

4.0

I did not know at what point in time this book took place until a date about half way through the book was mentioned. This book left me with some questions that as a Westerner might be a bit crass but I am just trying to learn.

After the first night with her husband and Khadeeja said she loved him, was that common for an unmet couple to fall in love at first site like that? Or was that unusual?

Was Layla an attempt to hold on to her childhood?

Could or can a man have more than one wife like that, or is there a protocol for this?
