A review by bisexualwentworth
Hijab Butch Blues by Lamya H

5.0

What an amazing book. Lamya's reflections on her life, identities, and faith, all woven through with lessons from the Quran, made me reflect so much on so many things. Her use of the story of Asiyah was particularly effective--she uses it to talk about abusive relationships and the double binds that frequently exist within them, and then she uses that abuse as a metaphor for her own relationship with the United States.

I will be thinking about Hijab Butch Blues for a long time.
