Read the book. The author's language is a strong reflection of her southern upbringing. One who understands southern culture can clearly see that Munir is in rare form and gives a raw and undeniable description of a soul brave enough to expose itself. Her voice of pwere is wrapped in sincerity despite her being a first-time writer. It rings through pages loud and clear. Her story speaks from a deeper place not withstanding her language disability. Being of Creole descent. Speaking, Patua. Southern dialect which breaks up English to fit in a hole that's much too small to be authentic experiences. Her accomplishing the feat of finding a melodic and free filled way to express despite of any language or comprehension issues and fighting to maintain her own sense of self is much to be admired.
