The enlightening life experience of ONE Somali girl-child
I read this book because I am studying Psychology and it is the focus of a personality assessment piece I am to present. I found 'Aman' to be an easy read, but a pleasurable one. For those who choose to criticise her story, I would put to you that Aman did not presume to explain her story as that of EVERY Somali woman, but of her own life experience. Furthermore, I have been educated in the fact that not EVERY Somali woman is as dependent on her husband as I once presumed. I thank Aman for teaching ME a thing or two.

A very interesting read!
I've read this book twice and enjoyed it immensely both times. It tells the story of Aman, a Somali girl, and her childhood. It is a fascinating story where you can only feel sorry for the unfairness of their culture for a young girl like Aman. I recommend it.

Interesting!
I read the book a few years ago while Somali refugees started coming to my country, Finland. I found the people and their traditions in the book quite male centered - but at the same time it helped me to understand Somali people's difficulties to adapt to a totally different society in a Nordic Democracy where family ties have no economic meaning because welfare society subtitutes for them.
