Not only does this book have engrossing history but it also has facisnating AI illustrations which really picture what Fatima Elizabeth would of gone through， in this particular book I feel the authors passion seeping through the book。I love the way they introduced one of the first converts in Britain， Fatima Elizabeth shows everyone the passion for Islam （at a very young age） and should be a important figure to everyone。

“Our Fatima of Liverpool” provides a short but thorough account into the life of one of the founding figures of Britain’s first mosque community。 I was especially surprised to read about Fatima’s journey to Islam and the fortitude she showed despite violent opposition from her own family and society。 It was quite emotional to read about her mother’s violent reaction to her reading the Qur’an or when she was attacked and pelted in the streets of Liverpool。The book is beautifully written and the a “Our Fatima of Liverpool” provides a short but thorough account into the life of one of the founding figures of Britain’s first mosque community。 I was especially surprised to read about Fatima’s journey to Islam and the fortitude she showed despite violent opposition from her own family and society。 It was quite emotional to read about her mother’s violent reaction to her reading the Qur’an or when she was attacked and pelted in the streets of Liverpool。The book is beautifully written and the authors have done a fab job in bringing Fatima’s story to life。 Engaging， emotional and inspiring- the book is very hard to put down （I read it in one sitting！） An appendix is included at the end which includes Fatima’s own writings and poetry which was nice to hear Fatima in her own words。The book is well-researched and sheds light on the significant， often forgotten role that women played in Britain’s earliest Muslim communities。 A lot more work needs to be done to ensure that Fatima’s story known as she is a role model for women today。 In all， I thoroughly enjoyed the book and would definitely recommend to anyone interested in Muslim women’s history！ 。。。more

here's my book review👍I recently read "Our Fatima of Liverpool" by Hamid Mahmood， and I was highly impressed。 Mahmood's writing style is engaging and draws the reader in。 The story follows the life of a young girl， Fatima， who moves to Liverpool， England and struggles to adjust to her new home。 Mahmood does an excellent job depicting the struggles of immigrants and the difficulties they face in a foreign land。 He also brings to life the vibrant culture of Liverpool and its friendly people。The bo here's my book review👍I recently read "Our Fatima of Liverpool" by Hamid Mahmood， and I was highly impressed。 Mahmood's writing style is engaging and draws the reader in。 The story follows the life of a young girl， Fatima， who moves to Liverpool， England and struggles to adjust to her new home。 Mahmood does an excellent job depicting the struggles of immigrants and the difficulties they face in a foreign land。 He also brings to life the vibrant culture of Liverpool and its friendly people。The book is very well written and has a unique style。 It is a great read， full of emotion and filled with insight into the immigrant experience。 I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good story about an alienated religion experience。 It was a great read， and I'm sure others will enjoy it as much as I did。 。。。more

This is an insight into the life of one of the first converts during victorian times。 Fatima persevered through struggles inflicted by her family and society as well as a troublesome marriage。 This is a well written biography that is very hard to put down。 Interesting， exciting， emotional and engaging！ The reader is able to picture the scence in their mind perfectly。 With the added bonus of beautiful poetry and appendices which include Fatima Elizabeth Cates own words。

This is a surprising book in many ways and the authors have created a worthy addition to the body of literature relating to faith in Britain。 As a non-Muslim reader， I was surprised to discover that Islam in Britain is rooted not only in Liverpool but in British converts to the faith。 I was also surprised that this ‘Muslima’， this Victorian church-attending young woman， played such a key role in establishing a mosque and sharing her experiences of conversion。The book successfully interweaves the This is a surprising book in many ways and the authors have created a worthy addition to the body of literature relating to faith in Britain。 As a non-Muslim reader， I was surprised to discover that Islam in Britain is rooted not only in Liverpool but in British converts to the faith。 I was also surprised that this ‘Muslima’， this Victorian church-attending young woman， played such a key role in establishing a mosque and sharing her experiences of conversion。The book successfully interweaves the story of the first British Muslim community with the life of Frances Cates， a fairly conventional young woman being raised in a fairly conventional Victorian family， yet utterly transformed in her life and purpose by her conversion to Islam and taking her Islamic name of Fatima。 Her history is underscored by the influence of William Henry Quilliam， who converted to Islam after a visit to Morocco and who founded the first functioning mosque in Britain。 Maybe there is also an untold love-story here in the relationship between Quilliam and Fatima。“Our Fatima” is a fascinating read and it is interesting to see how the Christian communities were challenged by this new faith。 The book is excellently researched and the addition of key texts in the appendices gives weight and authenticity。 I found it particularly fascinating that the 1892 list of converts to Islam includes Catholics， Anglicans， Methodists， Unitarians， Atheists， Spiritualists and Jews。 This underlined for me how a believing community can influence the whole。 Importantly， the book does not seek to proselytise but is as an important contribution to British religious history as， say， the story of Sister Julian of Norwich。 。。。more
