But the outcome of the U.S. presidential election in November 2024 brings sweeping changes that upend everything she thought was secure, marking a turning point she can't ignore. Drawn back to Afghanistan on a secret mission, Mina embarks on a journey that will transform her life in ways she never imagined.MY MOTHER SAID MY NAME is gripping, deeply moving, and thought-provoking. A powerful story about a daughter, and the enduring impact of losing her mother. Perfect for readers who enjoy literary fiction with emotional depth, global relevance, and unforgettable characters.
