The Pearl That Broke Its Shell by Nadia Hashimi
5.0
I still think about Rahima. My grade 10 English teacher recommended this book for my end of semester assignment, and it was one my favourite projects of my entire school career.
I analyzed this book through the lens of how gender roles permeate generations, most of the times intentionally and sometimes times not.
I learned so much from Rahima’s bravery and remind myself how much I owe to my parents for actively refusing to perpetuate the same ideas that surrounded them in their youth and breaking the cycle.
“I didn't know what my naseeb was, much less that of my son. But I decided that night I would do whatever I could to make it the best naseeb possible. For both of us. I was not going to miss any opportunities”
I think about this quite often, I vowed to myself that I am not going to miss any opportunities either <3
