memoir — Reviews — The Mistress of the House of Books

Amal Ghandour’s writing is intimate, gripping, and so wonderfully done. Not only does she seamlessly weave in actual historical moments with her more personal back story, but it’s also an eye-opening read into the lives of a group of young people who grew up as the Middle East begin to change into a place of political turmoil.

Review: Someday Mija, You’ll Learn the Difference Between a Whore and a Working Woman by Yvonne Martinez

I had the honor of receiving an advanced copy of Someday Mija, You’ll Learn the Difference Between a Whore and a Working Woman by Yvonne Martinez. Intrigued by the title alone, I gladly ate it up. It tells the story of author Martinez’s tumultuous childhood and young adulthood, as well as what happens after she distances herself from her family.
