A Thousand Questions by Saadia Faruqi
3.0
Knowing where you come from and actually seeing it are two very different things. At least for Mimi. She leaves the US, not wanting to visit her grandparents. Mimi wasn’t always my favourite character, she was so judgemental and honestly selfish but she was also kind and generous.
As for Sakina she is this smart level-headed servant girl who thinks Mimi is going to make her summer difficult, which isn’t technically a lie. She’s got too much on her shoulder I myself would have crumbled under the weight.
Between them they build this friendship that bridges the gap between what makes them strangers to besties. I feel like this book tried to tackle some heavy topics but honestly I don’t feel they were handled well, they were never discussed in detail once they’re had their fight. I wish there had been more on parents communicating with their kids. Kids Learning not to judge someone by the place they live and so much more.
