Reviews for Love in a Headscarf
An excellent read
This is a very surprising book, unlike anything else written in the mainstream either about Muslim women, Islam or love itself. The storyline - Shelina\'s own personal story about looking for her \"Prince Charming\" is thorougly engaging and full of extremely funny well written stories of the dates she goes on. But this is just the hook for a much deeper insightful reflection on being a Muslim woman and all the challenges that comes with. I was pleasantly surprised by some reflections on women in islamic folklore and came away after an enjoyable read having changed my mind on many issues after standing in Shelina\'s shoes. For anyone who has seen stories of burqini\'s, forced marriage or mosques in the news, or just wanting a cracking good read, this is a must. by Summer
