ReadWithMC Reviews 'These Impossible Things'
"I have so many feelings. Poetry wondrously flowed throughout this book! I'm already ready to read her next one. The foundation of this story is laid with love, family and, most importantly, friendship.
I'm not sure how"the world" will receive this story. There are so many false notions about who Muslim women are and what is expected of them. I'm not sure I'm prepared for opinions that will come. I have many opinions of my own, some I will share, some I will withhold. I think anything involving women, sex and choice have the power to drive misogynists crazy. Add Muslim to that equation and we have a whole police force lined up to condemn and punish.
But I still can't tell whether or not the communities would appreciate a story as unfiltered as this. Women engaging in forbidden things reserved for men. Receiving pleasure from sex without shame or guilt... And I definitely cannot tell how Arab men will feel about their depiction in this. Whether it matters or not is not for me to say.
Last thing I'll ask: why are all their knights in shining armors white? But all the Arab men deficient ? Was it to prove a point? Should I care? Does balance matter?"
