Internment By: Samira Ahmed Narrated by: Soneela Nankani Length: 11 hrs and 17 mins 4.4 (371 ratings) Try for 0.00 Pick 1 title (2 titles for Prime members) from our collection of bestsellers and new releases. There was your usual romantic subplot (sigh) and some of the things were slightly exaggerated, but it was a compelling read nonetheless. America is a country running high on Anti-Muslim and Islamophobic ideas and the setting of this story is very similar to how the world would have been for Japanese people in America and Canada during World War 2 or for Jews in Germany during the same time. She’s a breath of fresh air after over-used and stereotypical Muslim characters. Her character is well-written, with many unique traits, and a developing personality. The main character of this story is Layla Amin, a strong-willed Muslim girl living in America. She takes the racism and xenophobia that is present in today’s world, and the experience of people such as the Japanese during World War 2 to create a horrifying yet very real story set in near-future America. Instead of focusing on technology, space travel, or wars, Samira Ahmed focuses on another relevant topic in our society hate. Internment by Samira Ahmed is a dystopian novel, but it’s not your usual aliens-have-invaded one.
