OK... I had such high expectations for this book, but unfortunately, it was a total let-down. As I understood from the book summary, this was supposed to be a story about identity, Islam, and culture. Instead, I found characters who drink alcohol, eat pork, don't believe in God, know nothing about their culture! The only thing they have is Islamic names and serious issues! Amina was a total "feelings suppresser" and keeps shutting her thoughts out. The family was destroyed and distanced, and that is the opposite of what most standard Asian families are. I don't want to rant more about it
