Rifka

Rifqa's story is powerful and raw, making me wonder what motivated Mohammed El-Kurd to open up about such intimate experiences and how he hopes it impacts readers.

The clash between personal identity and societal expectations resonated with me, but I’m curious how others perceived the portrayal of cultural conflict in the memoir.

The selection of memories felt intentional and meaningful. I wonder what process he used to craft this narrative—what to include or leave out for maximum impact.
