Fiction
Verdict: Not worth it.
There's a certain genre of book that focuses on people's obsession with Muslim women and their oppression. It used to fascinate me because it was exotic, but now just kind of grosses me out. That's my general feeling about this book. I understand that historically (and this is a historical novel) women had no agency and were abused in many cases. I don't see any value in glorifying this or continuing to write novels whose whole point is to cater to this fetish.
I'm not going to go through a synopsis or my reaction to any of it because I feel I would just be furthering the validation and glorification of what happened.
Not recommended.
