About This Item
Sydney, North Sydney: Penguin Random House Australia, 2016. 1st ed.. Paperback octavo, good condition, colour photos, spine little creased, corner tips covers scuffed, minor edgewear. 322 pp. This book is about a Sudanese-Egyptian-Australian Muslim woman. At 21, Yassmin found herself working on a remote Australian oil and gas rig; she was the only woman working there. This is a story about Yassmin growing up migrant and Muslim in Australia post 9/11, navigating the usual teenage dramas, on top of adjusting to now being seen as the face of the 'enemy'. It is also about the strength of women, about learning to lead and understand the power of failure and a well-placed joke. This story challenges who we are as a society, and asks you to join the journey to a better society.
