The Henna Wars by Adiba Jaigirdar
THE HENNA WARS by ADIBA JAIGIRDAR
This is the first book I’ve read by a Bengali writer and it was great - very true to Bengali culture (or what I know about it through my brother-in-law, who is from Bangladesh).
I loved that it was a story about a young lesbian Muslim, growing up in Catholic Ireland with her Bengali parents and sister. Nishat struggles with bullying and homophobia and falling in love, but she is always true to who she is.
A perfect YA that I would have loved to have read when I was a teenager.
