4.0
I love Fatma Aydemir so much, and I really wanted to read this after reading her debut novel (Ellbogen) which was a five-star read for me. As a child of Turkish immigrants who live in Germany, I never felt more represented reading her books. Dschinns was also another amazing book. Fatma Aydemir writes character so well that as I was reading, I literally kept forgetting that these characters were not real people.
My favorite part of the book ⬇️
(you don't have to read the entire thing, but it's really worth it if you ask me 😮💨)
This following text is Sevdas speech to her mother. I think this was the best thing I've ever read in my entire life. I am literally at a loss for words. This ladies and gentlemen is exactly why Fatma Aydemir is my favorite author:
„Ihr habt uns verraten«, sagt Sevda. »Für irgendwelchen Quatsch, den ihr irgendwo aufgeschnappt habt, bei euren eigenen Müttern und Vätern, bei euren Nachbarn, in euren Moscheen, im Fernsehen, ihr habt Sachen aufgeschnappt und sie uns übergestülpt, nein,ihr habt uns in sie hineingezwängt wie in ein Gefängnis. Ihr habt alles nur übernommen,ohne euch auch nur einmal zu fragen, ob es so überhaupt gut für euch ist. Ob es gut für uns ist! Diese Ignoranz, sie treibt mich in den Wahnsinn, und ich will nur noch schreien, wenn du so tust, als seist du auch nur ein Gramm besser als Ayşe. Nein,
UGHHH THE RAGE OMG 😍
EAT HER UP ⁉️
GAAAAGGGGGG NOW THIS IS FEMALE RAGE DONE RIGHT 🧎🏻♀️
