About this book

Elif Shafak’s “The Happiness of Blond People” is an insightful essay that delves into the themes of immigration, multiculturalism, and the experiences of Muslims in Europe. It’s a personal reflection on the perils of identity. The narrative is triggered by a conversation overheard at an airport, prompting Shafak to question whether northern Europeans are truly happier. The book uses the real-life experiences of immigrants to explore these topics. As a Penguin Short, it’s designed to be consumed during a long commute or a short journey.
