Yasmeen #4 by Saif A. Ahmed
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Once again, this is powerful stuff.
We see less of Yasmeen’s time in captivity in Iraq, with just a very short scene of her attempted escape, and instead focus in her forging friendships in the USA. One such friendship sees her attending a party with a friend, who ends up unconscious and taken advantage of. Some boys take photos of her on their phones and one of the photos begins to spread…but Yasmeen and her mother decide to put a stop to it. They trace the photo and ensure that every copy is deleted.
Once again, this issue made me cry.
Brilliant writing and perfect art.
