emotional informative fast-paced

3.5

This book was such an interesting read. Telling the tale of a friendship between an English woman from North London and a woman from Kosovo who had come to the UK as a refugee. 

I think this book offered some real balance against some of the really negative portrayal that we can sometimes see in the media of asylum seekers and refugees.

The way the book is written in an accessible way - showcasing a series of stories.

I think the author did a great job of sharing a story which highlights cultural differences and the experiences of women from different cultures and backgrounds. This made it informative but in such an enjoyable way.

This was such a moving read; I don’t think I will forget this book - something about it really spoke to me and it’ll stick with me forever.
