I cried multiple times reading this.
The author's note was beautiful and powerful and brought tears to my eyes as well. I am so happy I read this.

This was such a sweet book. I loved that the author chose to highlight this book as from someone who is proud of her heritage but coming to terms with the multifaceted life of being an immigrant. I loved how powerful the family love was and how despite having a whole host of problematic twiddles, they all had a learning curve and grew over the course of the book. I appreciated how the grief of leaving one's family and home affected the main character.
Such a well done book!

Addressing racism and islamophobia, as well as the sacrifice inherent in leaving your country in search of safety, Other Words for Home gives voice to a much needed perspective in Western literature.
I highly recommend for readers of all ages.
