When Ali first meets Amirah, he notices everything about her—her hijab, her long eyelashes and her red trainers—in the time it takes to have one look, before lowering his gaze. And, although Ali is still coming to terms with the loss of his mother and exploring his identity as a Muslim, and although Amirah has sworn never to get married, they can't stop thinking about each other. Can Ali and Amirah ever have a halal "happily ever after"?
Na'ima B. Robert is descended from Scottish Highlanders on her father's side and the Zulu people on her mother's side. She was born in Leeds, England, grew up in Zimbabwe, and went to university in London, England. At high school, her loves included performing arts, public speaking, and writing stories that shocked her teachers! She has written several multicultural books for children which have won, and been shortlisted, for numerous awards.
Na'ima divides her time between London and Cairo, Egypt, and dreams of living on a farm with her own horses. Until then, she is happy to be a mum to her four children and keep reading and writing books that take her to a different world each time.

Review
"Alternating between Amirah and Ali's perspectives, Robert (Black Sheep) teases out the subtleties of young romance and the confounding pull of mutual attraction... it speaks vividly to conflicts of freedom, temptation, and faith. – Publishers Weekly
"Robert has painted a rich, varied picture of contemporary practicing Muslim teens... she succeeds in demonstrating the myriad ways many teens can live how they want while keeping halal" - Booklist
"a stunning novel of young romance" – Dolphin Book Blog
"Difficult as it is for non-Muslim teenagers to come to terms with semi-arranged marriage at 18 or 19, this compelling novel makes sense of it... a gentle, sensitive well paced love story, and I learnt a huge amount about Islam, which is, of course, a loving, caring, thoughtful way of life for the vast majority of its adherents." - The Independent, review by Susan Elkin
"faith and responsibility are sensitively explored... a well written and constructed story" - School Library Association

A very loving romance set in a world I know little about
By H Waterhouse
Sometimes it's really good to get a look at what fits into the "romance" template. It really makes you define your standards. As a person who reads a fair number of romance novels, the majority of which contain intercourse (or other sexual activity, and dictated by genders), I know that a lot of people think that romance has to have physical chemistry.
But I think at the core of my definition of romance, there is the evolution of a relationship with a resolution that is satisfying to all the participants. The rest is set-dressing.
In this case, the setting is really unusual for the romances I read -- almost everyone in the story is an observant Muslim in modern London, and that pervades everything about the book, from the rhythms of the day to the way the lovers feel about how they can interact. They are both conscious of what their boundaries are, and why they might want to violate them and why it's important to hold to them. I never got the feeling that they resented their restrictions, just that they were difficult, which I really appreciated. It's hard to write that state of tension without making a character sound unbearably whiny.
I liked that everyone talks about their faith, and the different ways they get comfort and support from it. I loved the rejection of the possible suitor who I thought of as St. John Eyre, who wanted a collection of good points instead of a partner. There is a glossary in the back! You might want to bookmark it, although the book is written smoothly enough that you can get most things from context. I also really liked that both of the main characters were service-oriented people, and that was part of what made them a good match. It seems more persistent than a shared taste in shoes.
As a romance, it was sweet, but not overwhelmingly good. As a cultural introduction, it was much more elegant than many. The combination was great because it got me through rough patches in both halves of the whole.
Read if: You love a romance that involves long-term consideration of compatibility. You want to understand a bit more about Muslim people who are not all the same caricature.
Skip if: You only read romances for the naughty bit. The first time they touch is after they get married and not onscreen.
Also read: An Assembly Such As This, by Pamela Aiden. It's also a novel on the less sexual and more religious side, this time based on Mr. Darcy and his faith life. No, really! I loved it.

Unique story, A painting in words
By Hend H.
So great to read about a love story told from the perspective of Muslim youth who are struggling to keep their relationship virtuous. Although the plot of the story is not action filled, the author keeps her readers' focus by painting a very clear picture of emotions and tiny but telling mannerisms. Very well written.

A great book to catch glimpse of halal romance & the life of practicing Muslims
By Bizu
My first time reading a Love story by a Muslim author and I love it! A great book to catch glimpse of lifestyle taught by Islam.
The mood is different than of the standard love books out there for sure. It has a special aura to it - the story felt 'virgin' and pure. I'm not exactly a teenager but the author managed to transferred me back to my younger years. Remember the days when you were too young to get married but you have crushes anyway? That's it. This book will make you feel giddy all over again!
Muslims or not, this book is perfect for young adults and adults alike. Read it and see if you can say no to the same love stories. You CAN fall in love and keep it HALAL.
Halal means adheres to Islamic law, as defined in the holy book, the Quran.
