Scheherazade Goes West by Fatema Mernissi
This narrative is part of my DNA. I grew up enthralled with the notion of "Arabian Nights" and Fatima Mernissi recasts Scheherazade, chipping away at all the westernized sediment, to reveal an intensely romantic, empowering read that made my eyes well up as I missed the sounds and scents of another lifetime.
