I read 2 MG of Tahereh Mafi and loved those, Many of people on Bookstagram were recommending me A very large expanse of sea plus its title is pretty plus Synopsis sounds interesting so I decided to give it a go. “If the decision you’ve made has brought you closer to humanity, then you’ve done the right thing.” A Very Large Expanse of Sea by Tahereh Mafi It terrifies her-they seem to come from two irreconcilable worlds-and Shirin has had her guard up for so long that she’s not sure she’ll ever be able to let it down. He’s the first person in forever who really seems to want to get to know Shirin. Instead, she drowns her frustrations in music and spends her afternoons break-dancing with her brother.īut then she meets Ocean James. So she’s built up protective walls and refuses to let anyone close enough to hurt her. She’s tired of the rude stares, the degrading comments-even the physical violence-she endures as a result of her race, her religion, and the hijab she wears every day. Shirin is never surprised by how horrible people can be. It’s an extremely turbulent time politically, but especially so for someone like Shirin, a sixteen-year-old Muslim girl who’s tired of being stereotyped.
