*Read for school*
It takes a lot for me to openly admit I love a book I read for school. This experience in particular was really tainted by the insane speed that we read this at, but still, it’s easily a 5-star read.

Fatima Mernissi has an incredible way of pulling you into her childhood that I’ve not really experienced in non-fiction before. As someone who reads a lot, it’s not hard for me to paint pictures in my head and see what I’m reading. But in this case, it was so remarkably vivid. 

I’m a massive fan of Mernissi’s writing style. It is blunt and easy to read but still descriptive and informative. A great introduction into this type of literature.
