This is a multi-faceted, intriguing look at colonialism, racism, appropriation, and feminism.  The young, female, Pakistanian, Muslim, English immigrant POV is an interesting one and lends a lot of depth and intersectionality to the discussions of all these topics. I wanted a little more concrete ending, but otherwise, I really enjoyed this book.
