No Country Woman by Zoya Patel

emotional informative reflective medium-paced

4.0

Such a thought-provoking read which I devoured within only a few days. Each chapter reads like its own essay, uncovering a different area of Zoya's life – from her Fijian-Indian diasporic identity, intersectional feminism, casual racism in Australia, to animal welfare and its links to privilege. At this memoir's core lies the experience of having a mixed ethnic and cultural identity and how that shapes one's own sense of self and relation to the rest of the world. A fascinating book which I'm glad I picked up – highly recommend it.
