Acerca de esta escucha

A wickedly funny and audacious debut novel following an academic who flees from heartbreak and lands in Iraq with a one-of-a-kind job offer—only to be forced to do the work of confronting herself.

When Dr. Nadia Amin, a long-suffering academic, publishes an article on the possibility of rehabilitating ISIS brides, the United Nations comes calling, offering an opportunity to lead a deradicalization program for the ISIS-affiliated women held in Iraqi refugee camps. Looking for a way out of London after a painful, unexpected breakup, Nadia leaps at the chance.

In Iraq, Nadia quickly realizes she’s in over her head. Her direct reports are hostile and unenthused about taking orders from an obvious UN novice, and the murmurs of deradicalization being inherently unethical and possibly illegal threaten to end Nadia’s UN career before it even begins.

Frustrated by her situation and the unrelenting heat, Nadia decides to visit the camp with her sullen team, composed of Goody Two-shoes Sherri who never passes up an opportunity to remind Nadia of her objections; and Pierre, a snippy Frenchman who has no qualms about perpetually scrolling through Grindr.

At the camp, Nadia meets Sara, one of the younger refugees, whose accent immediately gives her away as a fellow East Londoner. From their first interaction, Nadia feels inexplicably drawn to the rude girl in the diamanté headscarf. She leaves the camp determined to get Sara home.

But the system Nadia finds herself trapped in is a quagmire of inaction and corruption. One accomplishment barely makes a dent in Nadia’s ultimate goal of freeing Sara . . . and the other women, too, of course. And so, Nadia makes an impossible decision leading to ramifications she could have never imagined.

A triumph of dark humor, Fundamentally asks bold questions: Who can tell someone what to believe? And how do you save someone who doesn’t want to be saved?

“Funny, gripping and compassionate; Fundamentally is a truly original novel that you won’t be able to put down.”—Dolly Alderton, author of Good Material

“I really, REALLY loved it–the voice, the setting, the plot, all of it. It’s original, warm, funny and engaging. A breath of fresh air.”—Marian Keyes, author of Again, Rachel

No anticipation. No thrill. A very monotone storyline.

Left me wondering what the actual point of it was. Narrator was fantastic and her character had a great sense of humor. Definitely some funny one liners but the storyline lacked so much and it had so much potential! Like, SO MUCH!

Very funny, witty, with heartbreaking moments

I love this snarky, character, descriptions, and the wholehearted belief in goodness, as well as the enduring need for self respect and love, even when it’s awfully difficult.
