A story about a young girl finding and making her way in a city in Islam. After many years of being sheltered by her dad.
I found this book really interesting, reading about a different culture. And even so how things can be interpreted differently and conflict within faith.
This story explores female empowerment with the ultimate girl power towards the end.
A great read

This is a very interesting coming of age novel set in the middle east during the Islamic golden age. It tells the story of ine girl who will go against the general customs of women in that time period in order to make a difference. Overall this was a very impressive novel as the description of the written scenes were just lovely. I have never read anything by this author before so I am glad that I took the opportunity to do so.
Our main focus on the story is a girl named Khadija who lives with her father. When his scribe retires he offers her the chance to be his assistant. Khadija immediately jumps at the opportunity because she wants to be able to prove herself capable and make a difference in the world. However there are those out there who will do anything to prevent that from happening.
I received an arc copy from Netgalley and all opinions are of my own.
