Internment

New York Times bestselling and Carnegie Prize-nominated author Samira Ahmed ( Love, Hate and Other Filters ) fights against Islamophobia and complicit silence in a novel about a futuristic internment camp for fans of The Handmaid's Tale.

Samira has created a chilling, powerful, all-too-real near future that's a must-read for everyone's TBR.

[A] magnetic novel . . . this is a story that seems uncomfortably prescient in these uncertain times, but it's also one of hope and resistance . Author Ahmed is proving herself to be a YA gem .

Very timely . . . A rallying call against the complicity of silence on modern racism

A timely YA novel set in a terrifying 'fifteen minutes in the future' USA . . . In a world that's constantly creating boundaries and walls between races, religions and nations, Internment is a powerful and relevant book that reads less like a piece of fiction and more a scarily plausible future scenario. Yet what should resonate with readers is the hope at the heart of the tale. If you enjoyed The Hate U Give , this should be at the top of your TBR pile when March rolls around.

Chillingly plausible , a story of hate ultimately becomes one of hope as Ahmed challenges readers to fight the complicit silence of racism.

A tremendous novel.

Chillingly plausible

A powerful and poignant exploration of a nightmare made real. It's a testament to Ahmed's writing then, that the heart of the story is one of hope. Read INTERNMENT. Raise a fist.

A testament to what girls are capable of when they are overlooked, Internment is a masterwork of dignity and grit.

A riveting and cautionary tale. Internment urges us to speak up and speak out, to ask questions and demand answers, and when those answers prove unsatisfactory, to resist
