‘This book fell into my heart’ Sabrina Mahfouz

‘The kind of authentic voice that is rarely heard’ Saima Mir

Ayesha tells the story of growing up in a fundamentalist Muslim household; of parents who spent most of their lives away from Pakistan; of stealing her mother’s hijabs to wear to school as a five-year-old; of revisiting the beliefs and ideals she was raised with; of failed dreams and heartbreaks, but also of joy and love.
