Sweetness In The Belly by Camilla Gibb
Set against the backdrop of political upheaval in Ethiopia and the immigrant experience in London, this poignant narrative follows the journey of a young white Muslim woman who grapples with her identity and belonging. Raised in Morocco by her British hippie parents, she finds herself orphaned and eventually makes her way to Ethiopia, where she becomes deeply embedded in the local culture. As she navigates the complexities of love, faith, and displacement, her story unfolds with rich cultural insights and emotional depth, exploring themes of home, community, and the search for personal redemption.
