A review by jaclyncrupi
No Country Woman by Zoya Patel

4.0

Patel explores migrant guilt, female friendship and vegetarianism in ways I could strongly relate to. She interrogates race and religion in an intelligent and engaging manner through a feminist lens. Her hyphenated life as a Fijian-Indian-Australian is the central focus of the book and I thought she teased out the facets of each part of her identity in thought-provoking and illuminating ways. I devoured this memoir and felt the second half was particularly strong. Also, we all need a friend like Melissa!
