An Emotion of Great Delight
批評家のレビュー
"Lyrical [and] contemporary. This is an aching, emotional story that touches on various internal struggles of being a child of immigrants." (Buzzfeed)
"Gorgeous and poetic, Mafi is unflinching in her rendering of pain and brutal truths, but also succeeds in weaving a tale that is brimming with heart and honest hope. This is a book I wish I'd had when I was fourteen. I'm so glad young readers will have it now. A truly special story." (Jasmine Warga, New York Times bestselling and Newbery Honor-winning author of Other Words for Home)
"Tahereh Mafi has written a timely, compelling novel about love and family and the remarkably complex nature of religion and faith. An Emotion of Great Delight is as profound as it is beautiful." (Matt de la Peña, New York Times and Newbery Medal winning author of The Last Stop on Market Street)
あらすじ・解説
From best-selling author of the Shatter Me series and the National Book Award-nominated A Very Large Expanse of Sea, Tahereh Mafi, comes a stunning novel about love and loneliness, navigating dual-identity as a Muslim teenager in America and reclaiming your right to joy.
It’s 2003. It’s been several months since the US officially declared war on Iraq and the political world has evolved. Shadi, who wears a hijab, a visible allegiance to Islam, keeps her head down. Hate crimes are spiking. Undercover FBI agents are infiltrating mosques and interrogating members of the congregation, and the local Muslim community is beginning to fracture. Shadi hears the arguments between families about what it means to be Muslim, about what they should be doing and saying as a community, but she does not engage.
She’s too busy drowning in her own troubles to find the time to deal with bigots.
Shadi is named for joy, but she’s haunted by sorrow. Her brother is dead, her father is dying, her mother is falling apart and her best friend has mysteriously dropped out of her life. And then, of course, there’s the small matter of her heart. It’s broken. Shadi has tried to navigate the remains of her quickly shattering world by soldiering through, saying nothing, until finally, one day, everything changes.
She explodes.
Perfect for fans of the Shatter Me series as well as Angie Thomas' The Hate U Give and Nicola Yoon's The Sun Is Also a Star.
