Untethered by Ayesha Inoon is thought-provoking, emotional and immensely reflective. This read was very close and struck so many chords; it voiced all my emotions and thoughts when I moved to Australia. I spent most of my time in tears as I read the metamorphosis of Zia, a resilient and courageous young woman who navigates the meandering of coexisting between two cultures. The progression of key relationships, the discord between Zia and Rashid, is dealt with realism. I was hooked from page one, and as I went through the four key phases of the book, I was present with every character. Ayesha Inoon beautifully weaves a narrative of moving to a new country and discovering your voice. This book is easily one of my top reads for 2023, and I will carry it with me long after the final chapter.
