It follows the childhood and adolescence of B.M. Suhara, a girl born into a traditional Muslim family in Northern Kerala. The book captivates the reader's attention from the first page and holds it until the last line. The narrative is powerful and engaging, and I started feeling connected to Suhara and her extended family from the very beginning. The memoir paints a picture of the life and aspirations of a girl in post-independent India. It talks about patriarchy and how Suhara constantly feared that she would be 'married off' while she wanted to fly free and achieve great things. The book was originally written in Malayalam, and the translator, Fehmida Zakeer, has done a great job capturing the essence of the Malayalam narrative. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars I loved the book! A must read! *by A***R on Reviewed in India on 7 April 2023* I was hooked from the second chapter! You will never get bored and the book transports you to another era. I will be definitely checking out her other books ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely glimpse to an era *by S***A on Reviewed in India on 11 July 2022* I enjoyed this book so much .It kept me hooked right from the time I started reading it The writer and the translator has weaved a riveting tale of life back in the 50s.,that I was craving for more.Iits a memoir of the authors early life in a village in malabar region of Kerala ,where after the exit of the British ,the upper class like the landlords were dealing with the changes that it brought in their lives.The Author belonged to such family and she narrates to us about dynamics of the family life and their daily life and small adventures like walking to school and the next village to meet relatives .For me it’s fascinating to see the importance given to studies and even encouraging creativity like arts back then.I am eagerly going to look forward to reading more of her books ! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/453044385-the-dreams-of-a-mappila-girl-paperback-20-july-2022](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/453044385-the-dreams-of-a-mappila-girl-paperback-20-july-2022) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-17*
