The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi by S.A. Chakraborty

4.25

---

Amina al-Sirafi is a retired pirate who takes care of her mother and daughter at home when she is thrust back into her old ways in exchange for an astronomical amount of money. The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi is the biography of Amina, written and edited by Amina (with contributions by a scribe). It’s so brilliantly unique! && then to find out who the scribe is?? 🥺

The narration is so fun, especially when it comes to the asides that are written into the book.
