We love recommendations. Recommendations for restaurants, for movies, for books, for activities, for cleaning supplies, for anything. Perhaps you don't feel the same way, but in case you do, here are a few recommendations.
A Golden Age by Tahmima Anam - a fictional story set in Bangladesh during the Independence War in 1971. It is from a mother's point of view, and since she has children involved in the revolution, she also gets very involved.
Girls of Riyadh by Rajaa Alsanea - a fictional story set in Saudi Arabia and is all about twenty-some year-old women. Most of the book deals with their failed, attempted, and successful relationships. The book was originally published in Arabic, and while many books are banned in Saudi Arbaia, this book was not, yet was still very controversial. We actually had a few students at our school who worked in the same hospital as the author!
The Namesake - a great movie about the difficulties of generations living together in a new country. Part of the movie takes place in India, and it was so fun for us to watch and remember!
Do you have any recommendations for us?
