This semi autobiographical story was written in an eloquent manner, cleverly narrated as a novel to attract and engross the reader. Nina Bouraoui’s book should interest anyone that has ever questioned their identity. I come from a mixed background similar to the author’s which made her story much more relatable to me. This book could potentially be read as a love letter to her parents and her sister, to Amine, her culture, Algeria, to all biracial children and to herself.
