Reviews

Funny, warm and uplifting, Nadiya has produced a fabulous follow-up about faith and family
OK! magazine

The Fall and Rise of the Amir Sistersis, in fact, bold in tacklingserious topics, with mental health issues, sexuality, faith and failed ambitions drivingthe plot In the end, and after a decidedly un-fluffy twist,The Fall and Rise of the Amir Sisterssucceeds in showing how gender stereotypes hurt everyone men and women alike.All of this makes for an enriching, thought-provoking and yes entertaining read.
