It is always great to use literature as a tool to uncover traditions and values of other cultures, and Robert’s new book She Wore Red Trainers certainly promises an eye-opening and hard-hitting experience for its readers.

As promoted in the book trailer below, it speaks of the struggles of finding, gaining and indeed having those around you accept teenage love. Except Amirah has another worry on her mind. She has sworn never to get married. And Ali, the boy Amirah cannot stop thinking about, is still coming to terms with the untimely death of his mother whilst trying to establish his identity as a Muslim in the community, but cannot stop his mind from swaying to the girl in the red trainers for too long.
Can they be together and still maintain a higher relationship with Islam, without breaking the rules set by their religion and themselves? Amirah herself questions this in the trailer, reassuring herself over and over again of her wish to be single, even though Ali has utterly and completely stolen her heart. How will this work out for our protagonist?
Luckily, we have a link to the first chapter of this up-and-coming book, which you can access HERE for free!
