"Captivating and illuminating, Nadiri is a powerful story of identity and belonging. Al Sherif deftly explores what it means to navigate the complexities of intersecting worlds through the lens of Hagar, the daughter of an Arab Muslim father and an American Christian mother, as she comes of age in Egypt. Poignant, inspiring, and told with the intimate knowledge of someone who has lived these truths, Nadiri is a novel to be savored."
