I really have been winning the Fabulous Book Lottery lately. To be fair, a lot of the books are recommendations, and not just ones I’ve picked up randomly (thanks, Michael). This is a very good book. The subject matter is a little hard on the heart. If you’re a kid and you decide to read this, I hope you’ll ask your parent or friends to read it too, so you can talk about it afterwards. And the same for parents. This is a good book to share. Set in Pakistan, it gives an authentic feel of what it’s like to be a young woman there and it’s not so pleasant, really. It’s good for us Westerners to be a little uncomfortable though (or a lot uncomfortable). Also, Antieau has a real gift for instilling hope when times are tough (see the blog about her other book, MERCY, UNBOUND further down), so I hope you’ll give it a read.
