A review by sushita
Hijab Butch Blues by Lamya H.

5.0

I found this memoir touching and resonant. I am not Muslim, but certainly I could relate culturally as a South Asian queer non-binary person. I really loved Lamya's interpretations of the Quran, how she related these prophets' stories to her own life's story. How these stories helped her to find strength, perseverance and courage at different times in her life. How much her convictions of justice come from her faith and analysis. Her writing style was also easy to read and follow along with. Recommend!
