The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi (Amina al-Sirafi, #1)

by Shannon Chakraborty

men obsess over when they hate what they desire and desire what they cannot possess.

to be a woman is to have your story misremembered. Discarded. Twisted.

a little madness goes a long way in convincing men that you might stab them if they step out of line.

For while the pious claim money doesn’t buy happiness, I can attest from personal experience that poverty buys nothing.
