I loved this. Beautifully, meditatively written, it is "tales of a Moroccan girlhood" but very strictly centered around the themes of harem, womanhood, happiness, freedom, beauty... A wonderful read. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We got up late-ish, about 7, and the girls almost immediately started playing with their Barbies and I've been reading. I guess I should start doing some stuff as it's almost 8...

LapReader I love it when kids play straight away without bothering me for breakfast. 5y
MommyWantsToReadHerBook @LapReader usually we read first... And it's not that I don't love it, it was just a treat to read my book for a change 🙂 5y

I actually wanted to read some of her Muslim feminist writings, but this was all I could request through my library. Enjoying it immensely so far, though! We took the kids to the movies this morning, my youngest is passed out and I'm also exhausted and relaxing a bit.
