The Stories Grandma Forgot (and How I Found Them)
by Nadine Aisha Jassat
What a book!
Written in prose, you’ll find yourself flying through this one. It will tug on your heartstrings and had me in tears on the train. The story itself is so moving and powerful, the use of prose only exacerbates this.
I read this in one sitting - I just couldn’t put it down.
It’s a beautiful story about finding yourself/knowing yourself, culture and standing up to bullies. There’s powerful friendships and empowered protagonists. Honestly, there’s so much to love about this one!
