For readers of literary fiction about loss, displacement and identity, My Mother Said My Name is an intimate, thought-provoking story of grief, exile, and the search for belonging.

What does it mean to lose everything - and still find yourself?

Mina is a young Afghan woman with fierce determination and a will of steel. When the Taliban seize Kabul in August 2021, tragedy strikes her family, forcing them to flee. Mina rebuilds her life in New York, where she discovers new freedoms, a friendship with an old Jew called Mr. Mendelsohn and love. But the outcome of the U.S. presidential election in November 2024 brings sweeping changes that upend everything she thought was secure, marking a turning point she can't ignore. Drawn back to Afghanistan on a secret mission, Mina embarks on a journey that will transform her life in ways she never imagined.
