I first picked up this book a few years ago after realising that the book I had initially bought about Muslims in Britain had been written by a white, non-Muslim man. I'm grateful I bought this instead. I enjoyed it, although this did fluctuate depending upon my interest in each essay, although the good thing about the structure was that if I found one essay not the most interesting or readable I knew there would be a new one soon enough. Sufiya Ahmed's in particular stood out with her writing about how Muhammad's wife Khadija has served as a role model for her throughout her life. Overall, I am grateful indeed that this book exists.
