Mingled in a lot of drama is a beautiful story of love and family relationships. The writer takes us into the lives of Maya and Behrooz and shows how their family influences their relationship.
The writer uses simple language and alot of detail to construct vivid pictures. As I read the story I can imagine myself being there observing each scene as it plays out.
Reading this story had me on an emotional roller coaster. you would need to pull out that box of tissues!
Overall this story was enjoyable and I wish it didn't end.

The Yard [Paperback] [Jan 01 2016] Aliyyah Eniath Aliyyah Eniath 9789385755088 Books Reviews

Let me start off by saying that by the end of this novel I was in tears! So many feels. I don't even know where to begin this review because there's just so much I want to say!

The Yard chronicles the adventures of a young boy who is adopted by a devout Muslim family in Trinidad and Tobago although some persons in the family do not approve of the adoption.

I love how the setting is painted. I could really see The Yard and I love the culture that pervaded everything. Author, Aliyyah Eniath, didn't try to justify it, but rather stated it as it was, which I thought was a really good approach.

Also, it was always a mini-surprise to hear about a local place in Trinidad while reading because that has never happened to me in a novel before and I absolutely loved it. It made it that much more real and enjoyable for me.

The characters are all so perfectly flawed and of course my favourite is Maya. Her journey is both heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time and I could actually see all the things that she goes through happen in real life which just brings the novel to life for me.

What I love most about the characters are that they're real and I could relate to each of them because they all have real human qualities and aren't abstract fanciful characters.

The author address numerous issues in the novel like death, religion, love, regret, tolerance vs intolerance, compassion, forgiveness etc. and it's refreshing to read about some of these issues in novel form especially when some of them, especially that of religion is so touchy and hard to come across.

The only difficulty was keeping up with sheer number of characters. So if you were to ask about particular Aunties, I wouldn't be able to say who their children were and what their specific role in the grand scheme was. I'm not saying the effect of their choices don't stay with me, because I know that certain things happened, but in my mind I just classify it as 'one of the Aunties' or 'one of the Uncles.'

I enjoyed this novel and I couldn't put it down. I finished The Yard at 350am and I started writing my thoughts on it as soon as I was finished reading it.

I highly recommend this novel to everyone! It's one of those MUST-READ novels that readers are blessed with from time to time.

I gave The Yard by Aliyyah Eniath 5/5 stars!

Full review coming to my YouTube Channel "RadeyahTV" soon!
This book takes you on an emotional journey showing us how difficult it can be sometimes to conform to society and family beliefs.
An interesting and entertaining look at Indo-Islamic culture in Trinidad & Tobago.
I bought this book hoping for it to shed light into communal living as I grew up in one. Whilst it was an enjoyable read...it lack depth. The impact of having grown up in such a setting is much deeper and wider than portrayed here. If she was trying to illustrate the contrast between the "old" Islam and the new wave - then Uncle Khalid epitomizes the old ( Sunni ) traditions superbly .
The Yard, By Aliyyah Eniath

This book elegantly reveals the complexities of family dynamics, love, loss and hope. It is at it's heart a story of love that is stark, gut wrenching and at times, all to familiar.

Set in the context of a Trinidadian-Muslim family, this telling skillfully pulls the curtain aside and welcomes the reader into the world of a diverse cast of characters and manages to transform archetypes into complex and relate-able individuals. It offers a less often presented insight into the multifaceted world of the Trinidad Muslim experience.

'The Yard' is the first novel by Aliyyah Eniath and it has earned its place on my book shelf.
