Living in America, Jeehan witnesses the fall of the Twin Towers following which she returns to Morocco. The New York sections were incredibly affecting as Jeehan deals with her horror at what she has witnessed, but also has to cope with the reactions of those around her to her as an Arab Muslim woman. I‘ll admit that the Morocco chapters lost me somewhat and at times were completely odd. An inconsistent read for me, but still powerful and sobering
