Guest House for Young Widows: Among the Women of Isis by Azadeh Moaveni

3.0

There is some really fascinating and sad stories in this book, but I found the narrative flow a little too muddled. I also got a little confused with who was who at different points, but that may have been the start and stop way I was reading it. There were additional breaks in the narrative to go into further depth of what ISIS was doing at the time, and while others may find that helpful, I mostly skipped over it. What I really appreciated was getting to know these women, what brought them into extremism and how they fared in the life. It would be interesting to revisit these women in 15 or so years to see how they are still doing.
