More About Aman: The Story of a Somali Girl
I enjoyed this story. It was interesting and unexpected in parts. I felt surprised by how courageous Aman was at times and also frustrated by some of her decisions but appreciated the fact that her story was told with such honesty. Insightful and easy to read. Amazing story of one girl in Somalia- but the way the story was written, I felt it ended so abruptly after the strife she went through growing up. I want to know how it all ended in more detail. I feel for her mother- she was a very willful daughter. Thoroughly interesting, but I will not be rushing back to read it again. What can I say, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful - had tears in my eyes reading most of this book - the struggles and tribulations our narrator had to go through to survive - a very strong, beautiful woman's life
