Über diesen Titel
'A NEW NAME TO WATCH OUT FOR' THE TIMES
'THE DEBUT OF THE YEAR' STYLIST
'ELECTRIC' GUARDIAN
A wildly funny and razor-sharp exploration of love, family, religion and the decisions we make in pursuit of belonging.
'By normal, you mean like you? A slag with a saviour complex?'
Nadia is an academic who's been disowned by her puritanical mother and dumped by her lover, Rosy. She decides to make a getaway, accepting a UN job in Iraq. Tasked with rehabilitating ISIS women, Nadia becomes mired in the opaque world of international aid, surrounded by bumbling colleagues.
Sara is a precocious and sweary East Londoner who joined ISIS at just fifteen.
Nadia is struck by how similar they are: both feisty and opinionated, from a Muslim background, with a shared love of Dairy Milk and rude pick-up lines. A powerful friendship forms between the two women, until a secret confession from Sara threatens everything Nadia has been working for.

Thus starts the novel and it takes the reader on a whirlwind ride behind the news reports. What happened in Iraq and with ISIS? How come so many “good” girls flocked there to become eventually trapped as wives of ISIS workers? Should they be allowed back to their home countries? How do UN people live and work in war zones? How do officials, diplomats and journalists work behind the scenes? What motivates and keeps people working in such environments?
Nadia is an outsider, and she has a few chips on her shoulder. She wants to make a difference with her program and really cares about the fates of the forgotten ISIS brides. Then she becomes deeply affected by the fate of East Londoner Sara who joined ISIS at 15. Sassy, abandoned and desperate, she reminds Nadia of herself and she does everything to help her.
The novel asks interesting questions about truth, morality and rights. Nothing is ever clear, who is truly innocent or a victim?
I liked the humour, tone, pace and ambiguity of this novel, it kept me hooked and left me thinking and researching afterwards. Highly recommended.
Fresh, thought-provoking and irreverent
