The Beauty of Your Face

by Sahar Mustafah - £8.99  Legend Press Ltd (2020)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9781789559736 | ISBN 10: 1789559731

Afaf Rahman, the daughter of Palestinian immigrants, is the principal of Nurrideen School for Girls, a Muslim school in the Chicago suburbs. One morning, a shooter―radicalized by the online alt-right―attacks the school.
 
As Afaf listens to his terrifying progress, we are swept back through her memories: the bigotry she faced as a child, her mother’s dreams of returning to Palestine, and the devastating disappearance of her older sister that tore her family apart. Still, there is the sweetness of the music from her father’s oud, and the hope and community Afaf finally finds in Islam.
 
The Beauty of Your Face is a profound and poignant exploration of one woman’s life in a nation at odds with its ideals.
