Read - ers follow the story of Zulaikha, a 13-year-old Afghan girl with a cleft lip, who does not know how to read, as she strives to overcome physi - cal and cultural obstacles. This book definitely changed my perspective of Americans and civilians in Afghanistan. This book was from the perspective of and Afghani girl who has cleb lip. She often had to deal with the bullies in her neighborhood. They often threw rock and insulted Zulaihka and her brother. She met the Americans who came to her village and they offered her surgery for her face. She agreed and later had her lip fixed, and didn't cover her face as much. She also liked to go to school. It is interesting to me how people going to school hate it, but people who don't would like to go. Great book to see perspectives of other cultures. This book was amazing. I got to see a side of the world that I, myself have never experienced. The main character Zulaikha, seemed to reach out to me and show me her world through her eyes. I have read A Thousand Splendid Sun, and this book help me understand it. The different customs between both cultures were interesting to see unfold. Also the way that some people view Americans, in the way that we are "horrible, bad. etc" but still want our help was interesting to read about. This book also made me think about what I should do with my life, I have more opportunities, I should take advantage of them. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
