If I Could Be Mine: Personal Power in Sara Farizan's If You Could Be Mine
1a Olympia, Washington, USA.
Abstract:
This article examines Sarah Farizan's young adult novel If You Could Be Mine. It concludes that the author evokes transnational and transgender issues as secondary story lines, while the novel's primary concern is with female personal power in an age of unprecedented opportunities for young lesbian women. Through the character of Sahar, the author models a way forward wherein women can insist on freely given love in the absence of the male body. Through Farizan's illustration of the progression of Sahar's and Nasrin's relationship, the author re-contextualizes what it means to fulfill lesbian desire.
