This should be required reading for young adults. As someone who was in middle school when 9/11 happened, I wish it came out when I was younger. It’s an imperative and relevant perspective always, but especially now.
An Emotion of Great Delight is an important perspective of the life and struggles Muslims experience post 9/11. Although 9/11 wasn’t a central event in the plot, we follow a young woman and her family who experience the tribulations of life and loss, while also being affected by the stereotypes, paranoia and pressures 9/11 brings on their community a couple years after.
