We Have Always Been Here by Samra Habib

adventurous dark emotional medium-paced

4.5

 I have been savouring this book for awhile. The writing is lovingly clear as Samra lays out the twists in her life arriving in Canada as a refugee - this is great memoir writing. 
 
My only note is that the last third of the book passes through time really quickly. However, there are so many sweet moments that helped me understand the fullness of Samra’s life as a queer Muslim (Her trip to Japan! The chapter on the Unity Mosque in Toronto is so nice!). 🥺💕 Definitely going to seek out her photo project!
