SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2025 WOMEN\'S PRIZE FOR FICTION\'A NEW NAME TO WATCH OUT FOR\' THE TIMES \'THE DEBUT OF THE YEAR\' STYLIST \'ELECTRIC\' GUARDIAN A wildly funny and razor-sharp exploration of love, family, religion and the decisions we make in pursuit of belonging. \'By normal, you mean like you? A slag with a saviour complex?\' Nadia is an academic who\'s been disowned by her puritanical mother and dumped by her lover, Rosy. She decides to make a getaway, accepting a UN job in Iraq. Tasked with rehabilitating ISIS women, Nadia becomes mired in the opaque world of international aid, surrounded by bumbling colleagues. Sara is a precocious and sweary East Londoner who joined ISIS at just fifteen. Nadia is struck by how similar they are: both feisty and opinionated, from a Muslim background, with a shared love of Dairy Milk and rude pick-up lines. A powerful friendship forms between the two women, until a secret confession from Sara threatens everything Nadia has been working for.\'Funny, gripping and compassionate\' DOLLY ALDERTON\'Not only hysterically funny but trenchant and necessary.
