Nothing in Amal El-Amin's life has ever been easy or straightforward. The Granddaughter of staunchly conservative Saudi immigrants to England and the Daughter of a 'Lapsed' Muslim woman who's spent her entire life rebelling against dogma and tradition, she struggles to walk the tightrope between the demands of others and her devotion to her faith. A struggle made even more complicated by the fact that she's in love with the daughter of a member of the Racist & Islamophobic 'English Defence League;' a proud Lesbian who is at war with everyone, including herself. And as if that weren't enough, she also has a deep desire and need which she can't even understand, let alone explain to anyone else. A profound longing which she struggles to hide from the world for fear of losing everything and hurting the people who she loves. A touching and realistic 'Slice of Life' drama, the story of Amal El-Amin is an exploration of bigotry, faith, culture and the conflicting demands to conform, of sexuality and psychological disorders, but most of all, of identity; the individual journey that we all must take to discover and accept who we are. (Please be advised that this book contains moderate depictions of same-sex rape and intimate partner violence which some readers may find distressing.)
