pickI really enjoyed the first 80% of this book! I liked both main characters and flew through it. The last 20% wasn‘t bad, just not nearly as good as the first part. And the ending seemed abrupt. But I love historical fiction and knew nothing about this matter (contraception in Ireland in the 70‘s) before hand. (33)
⭐️: 3.75/5
pickThe title of this book is the rallying cry for Iranian protesters after the murder of Mahsa Amini by police. This graphic collection pulls no punches. I was disturbed and inspired. I know a lot more and have a much better understanding of the recent history and current state of protest and repression in Iran. And, unfortunately, some of it reminded me very strongly of the current state of politics in the US. 😞
pickAmazing. A look at the current state of rebellion under the Islamic regime of Iran, following the cruel murder of a young woman by morality police because her headscarf wasn‘t worn perfectly.
