I stood there, frozen, hearing my mother’s voice in my head. “There is a reason why our people do not go to that university. Oomza Uni wants you for its own gain, Binti. You go to that school and you become its slave.”
A beautiful novella about connection and cultural integrity in the face of otherness and exploitation. Well worth the read, and I'm looking forward to picking up Home and The Night Masquerade as well.
