I'm Amal and I was born in Egypt,and I loved your book "In a perfect world," the research was done really well it's pretty accurate to my culture. Really amazing book! Who inspired you to write ?
Trish Doller
Hi Amal!
In a Perfect World started with the idea of a Christian girl falling in love with a Muslim boy and from there I had to think about who and where. So I spent some time researching countries where the population is predominantly Muslim and it was clear that Egypt was the perfect setting because it's both politically complicated and incredibly beautiful. And once I had the setting, the characters came to life.
Thank you so much for reading. It makes me super happy to know that my research paid off and that you enjoyed it!
Much love,
~Trish
