Turkish history and family dynamics combine for this
surprisingly powerful graphic novel about Samanci's life in Turkey. She
discusses the oppression of speech, religion, and women in Turkey while also
showing a love for other aspects of her country. Her thoughts and worries about
fitting in, pleasing her parents, and attempting to be more like her sibling
(and what others want her to be) is very relateable. And through it all, she
discovers herself. An amazing read that I highly recommend.
