Quotes by Tasneem Jamal (?)

“It’s as though he is a spoiled girl planning a party and she wants to use invitations to exert her power,” Jaafar says. “Who to include, exclude? Each moment her mood shifts and so does the invitation list. It’s ludicrous.”
― Tasneem Jamal, Where The Air Is Sweet

“Come back?” she asks. “Isn’t it obvious to you yet? We are finished with Africa.”

“You mean Africa is finished with us,” he says slowly”
