Then We Were One. Photo Credit: amazon.comI met Fred Reed at a CAIR-CAN fundraising in Montreal few years ago. I didn’t know at that time that he would one day be one of the translators of my memoir Hope and Despair. Later on, I read one of his numerous books on the Middle-East and I discovered with delight and curiosity a glimpse of the man who stood behind this tall and shy personality. An American War Resister? International journalist? A translator who chose Canada, and more particularly Quebec, as a land of adoption?

Then, I read his latest book Then We Were One, a memoir he wrote that was published by Talonbooks in November 2011. After I finished reading this book I realized how little I knew about the life of this fascinating Canadian author.

Na’ima B. Robert has done a fantastic job yet again. This time, it was on her book, Boy vs. Girl. The novel started off normally enough, then it grew really interesting, becoming my second favourite book.

Boy vs. Girl is about two Muslim teenagers (twins, brother and sister) who can’t decide what they want to do with their lives. They have been doing some haram (Islamically impermissible) things for a long time. They want to change but it’s really hard for them.

From Somalia, With Love.  Author: Na’ima B. Robert.  Publisher: Frances Lincoln Children’s Books, pp: 160.Na’ima B. Robert is an extraordinary writer, masha Allah (praise be to Allah). She is good at making her stories interesting, like I-can’t-stop-reading-now sort of interesting.  One of the books she has written is called, From Somalia, With Love. I enjoyed that book very much.

The book is based on a girl named Safia, whose father comes back from Somalia. She calls him Abo. It is the Somali way of saying “father”. If you never knew your father because he was in another country, you would be happy he came home, right? I would. But in Safia’s point of view, when her father came home, it ruined everything.
