A difficult read
Joanna Palani was a student in Copenhagen when she decided to go to join the YPJ, the all female brigade of the Kurdish militia in Syria. This memoir tells her story of the battles she has faced because of her decision.
This is reasonably well written but it being translated makes it difficult to read. It covers some horrible things that I was not aware of in my safe little world. So perhaps this should be widely distributed to raise awareness about what has happened to thousands of people whose only crime was being born in the wrong place. Also making us aware of the political mine field this opened up as fighters against ISIS were prosecuted the same as supporters.
I hope Joanna will have a good life in the future.
