Publisher's summary

A North African woman’s autobiography (Arab, Berber, Moslem), starting in the western desert of the Arab world and ending up in the West; scattered memories in 12 chapters. This is the first collection of life memories that have marked my life.

Childhood experiences build our psyche. Teenage experiences build our personality. Adult experiences complement the latter and cement everything together to make the person that we end up being. This is a glimpse into the life of an Arab woman, a glimpse into the Arab world, love, relationships, feelings, and human relations, in general. You are sure to relate to, or even find yourself or someone you know, in at least one of these scattered memories. The perfect gift for anyone interested in the life of an Arab woman.

Delightful

Thouria I loved it. It's a delightful story of growth and change. I'm wondering if your dad hadn't declined the marriage proposal at chapter 7, we might not have your autobiography to enjoy That mix up between Algeria and Nigeria at chapter 8 was hilarious😆 As soon as the accent changed, I knew you had landed in America at 22. Looking forward to more parts of your journey 🙏🏽

Overall Good, Short Read (Listen?)

The author captures her experiences quite well through dialogue; the generational motif ties the memories together nicely. Narration is excellent. On the other hand, the non-chronological presentation somewhat detracts from the flow (just a suggestion for future iterations). Overall, great to see representation of Arab women.

Great!

The narration is captivating and her tone changes with the different characters. It was very easy to follow along and very informative!
