Book Review on Hijabistan by Sabyn Javeri

Hijabistan by Sabyn Javeri is a collection short stories dealt with emotions of Muslim women hidden behind their Hijab.
The book contains 16 short stories each having their own significance. Certain stories were meaningful and engaging yet some stories lacked explanation. All the stories were filled with erotic feelings concealed by Muslim women unveiled through the authors thought, that one denies divulging.
The Hijab concept practiced only in Muslim community and these women are bound to it. Upon wearing them they become invisible not only from the world but also in expressing their perceptions and emotion.
The author has penned down her thoughts about the true nature of the society and how Muslim women are treated by abandoning their thoughts and feelings. The author exposed the truth with utmost honesty. As all the stories based on Muslim women’s and their culture, we might lack to interpret the true meaning behind the storyline at some places.
Stories I liked most are “The Lovers”, “Fifty Shades at Fifty” and “Coach Annie”. These stories explicitly describes the feelings and desires that woman faced today irrespective of woman empowerment in some places.
The cover of the book is beautiful and appropriate that matches the book content.
I would like to recommend this book to all readers who loves short stories inclined with erotic touch.
My rating is 🌟🌟🌟🌠 for this short read.
