"Finally getting to a book recommended to me on many occasions. I watched and enjoyed the screen adaptation last year - which prompted the purchase. Unsurprisingly, in the way of these things, the book opens a little differently, although the narrative voice is consistent with what I recall from the TV series." — Jan 29, 2026 12:52PM

"Abdu continues to weave a story that engages me. She is somehow able to present a perspective that, whilst alien to my own becomes more familiar the further I read. I have friends and colleagues who follow Islam and I feel like I have gained more insight via Abdu's prose than for questions neither asked nor answered. Aliyah's experiences are written softly, without artifice., without any sense of promotion." — Feb 25, 2026 01:54AM
