Tahereh Mafi’s stunning new novel A VERY LARGE EXPANSE OF SEA chronicles the story of high schooler Shirin, a strong young woman whose life has never been easy due to her family’s constant moving and her daily choice to wear a hijab. It’s 2002, one year after 9/11, and Shirin is constantly being bullied, stared at, threatened, or worse. Enter Ocean. The seemingly perfect love interest is the first person in a long time who really wants to get to know Shirin. It’s through Ocean’s kindness and her love of breakdancing that Shirin is able to make it through another year.
A VERY LARGE EXPANSE OF SEA is a beautiful novel, with addictive prose from Shatter Me series author Tahereh Mafi and irresistibly lovable characters. This book has such soul and such heart, that it is near impossible to put down. I encourage you to pick up this book and jump into a whirlwind story of love, hate, and everything in between that will leave you feeling that there is some good left in the world.
