Qualey's Review of The Girl Who Fell to Earth

Marcia Lynx Qualey is an American resident of Cairo who writes a fantastic blog about Arabic literature in translation. She also reviews works in that genre for the English language press in Cairo. I'm posting a link to the excellent review she wrote of "The Girl Who Fell to Earth" by Sophia Al-Maria, a coming of age story of east and west. Her review appeared in the Egypt Independent. The story is not what you'd expect however, and Marcia tells why.  I am putting this on my to-read list!

You can link to her review  here.
