 This is a poignant but ultimately hopeful memoir. Al-Kadhi reflects on their strict Muslim upbringing and their time at Eton and Cambridge and describes the devastating impact it had on their mental health and sense of self. It was a hard read at times, particularly when they described their feelings of isolation and how they turned to obsessive compulsive behaviours while trying to be perfect and fit in with their surroundings. They also write really movingly about their complex relationship with their mother and I was so pleased to read about their reconciliation at the end.
