Take it Back - Kia Abdullah

 Take it Back - Kia Abdullah


He and she read


Lara a young Muslim woman, has given up a lucrative, high powered legal career to work at a rape counseling center. When she takes on a case involving the alleged sexual assault of a physically deformed white student by four Muslim classmates, her world explodes, as does the shaky relationship between the Muslim and non Muslim world of London.  As the court case proceeds, there are a lot of disturbing questions.   


This is a well written, fast, yet engrossing read. It raises a lot of social and cultural issues, giving the reader much food for thought and debate; it would be a great read for a book club.


The ending left readers to hypothesize what happens next.  Again, another question open for debate.  


He liked it also
