Genre - Biography
Ayaan Hirsi Ali writes a fascinating account of her experience as a child growing up in Islamic Somalia. As the middle child of her family, she was often told that she was stupid and would amount to nothing. She shares her hardships with Islamic culture, the wars, and the control of the masses. She describes the female circumcision she was subjected to, against the wishes of her parents, by her grandmother. Her life changed when she became a refugee in The Netherlands. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and applaud her for her courage to publish her life story.
