A review by limonik
This Green and Pleasant Land by Ayisha Malik

slow-paced

3.5

I never thought I would say that about a book, but this one needed to be 150 pages shorter. It started off strong and I loved how the author played with hidden prejudices, buried racism, the notion of home and belonging so wisely, but the story dragged on and on for the last 150 pages and I couldn’t wait for it to be over. This would have been a 4-star read for sure, but I downgraded it to 3,5 for being unnecessarily long.
