Thank you for recommending Against the Loveless World by Susan Abulhawa. In equal measures it is stunning and heartbreaking, painfully observed and beautifully written. It feels like important reading.

I love your hair Alya. And I think its entirely true what Marina said: people (men and women) get freaked out by women with funky, curly hair. It challenges them. Cos it has its own life force. And personality. And it doesnt go away. It's just there. Glorious. Just like you.
