Found this really interesting, as with all essay collections there were ups and downs and so this took me a while to get through (although I found the essays got better as I went on). I tend not to engage with (organised) religion and so was surprised by how powerful and inspiring these explorations of Islam are - this book is an important reminder of how faith can be a progressive force for good. 

This is also a book of a specific moment - without checking the publication date I could easily describe it as 'post-brexit and pre-BLM'. There's an element of 2010s pop feminism individualism to this kind of essay style that I don't feel totally comfortable with, but it didn't take much away from my enjoyment of these essays.
