I have recently read an extracted piece from the book Desert Flower by Waris Dirie . The book is based on the real life account of Waris' story. It is about her journey as a women from the restricting unequal world of Somilia to the world we live on today. In the journey WAris faces many obstacles and near death experiences.
I found that the extact was very compelling . It gave me a true insight to the life as a young girl in Somalia and this book evoked anger with in me as I saw the pain the women go through even though they are the backbone of Somlia.
As i read futher on in the book I developed a growing awe for Waris. I was so shocked to actually believe that what WAris went through was true . I now see Waris as an amazing women of courage, determination and strength . She is truly an amazing role model who I look up to. Waris has saved lifes throughjust telling her story! Overall I am so happy that I had this chance to read this nook and U think everyone should read this story !!
Thanks for your review Michelle. Sounds like you enjoyed the read.
