Just finished this book about a Pakistani girl and her life in the desert. This book is definitely for older girls as references are made about developing breasts, starting periods and what it will be like to be married, that I am sure boys would find disgusting. The book depicts women as second class citizens and contains some violent scenes, however, I really enjoyed this book and am anxious to read the next one. I learned a lot about middle eastern culture and actually read ahead to see what happened to the strong young woman
protagonist. Sad at times, engaging in others, this book will keep you interested until the very end.
