rebthack 's review for:
The Girl in the Tangerine Scarf
by Mohja Kahf
3.5
It is a story without a plot - much like real life. It is a tale of growing up in a conservative Muslim family in the 1970s as Syrian immigrants who settle in Indiana and build a like minded community around them.
I enjoyed the time spent with the main character and her family - but the writing was clunky and lacked flow at times; however, there were other moments where it was incredibly poetic.
I enjoyed this book, and it definitely has me thinking - but it isn’t something that I would call a must read.
