A Woman Is No Man, written by Etaf Rum, was recommended to me by a good friend, and now I recommend it to you. It tells the story of three generations of Arab women living in the US. A tale of immigration, of balancing assimilation vs separation of culture, and balancing tradition vs progress.
Novella Review: 'Binti'
I am always in awe of authors who can do so much with so little. Binti is a 90 page novella written by Nnedi Okorafor. It follows the story of a girl named Binti, who upon being admitted to the prestigious Oomza University runs away to attend it. No one in her tribe has ever attended before, and doing so comes at extreme risk.
