«Diez cosas que odio de mí» is the young adult novel by Randa Abdel-Fattah, published by La Galera, SAU in paperback (352 pages, in Spanish).
Jamilah leads a double life: at school she presents herself as Jamie, a blonde, Western girl who hides her Muslim background, and at home she lives with her family and a very strict father. The novel explores cultural identity, the need to fit in, and personal acceptance, with a relatable voice and comic moments.
Published in October 2009. Translated from English by Pepa Devesa. Part of the Narrativa singular collection (no. 13).
Aimed at young readers aged 14 to 16, especially those interested in stories about identity, family, and friendship.
Randa Abdel-Fattah is an Australian sociologist, lawyer and writer. She is an advocate for human rights, particularly for Palestinian people. Much of her work focuses on identity and what it means to be Muslim in Australia. Her debut novel, Does My Head Look Big in This?, was published in 2005. Her 2025 novel, Discipline, came to public attention after Abdel-Fattah was disinvited from the 2026 Adelaide Writers' Week, leading to a boycott by most of the scheduled participants and the subsequent cancellation of the event.
