spine - that's how:
fear is their first experience. Born the third child of a wealthy Algerian family in Paris, Samie understand early on what it means to be a girl. Your own mother cursed the day when she was born. bring father and brothers to meet her only rejection.
Even in Paris Samia takes the life of a prisoner, ddoch than the Muslim family in Algeria, it appeals to experienced hell. At sixteen, she is forcibly married to a man who beats already on the wedding night and raped.
"If you like your man not will respect, we kill you, "say the parents. In an atmosphere of fear and violence brings Samia six children. When they divorced a veritable witch hunt begins. Samia risked their lives to flee with her daughters .. .
My opinion:
"What have I done that God made me to tone up a girl?"
gets early in the first pages you goosebumps horror that runs through the whole book, because you just can not understand, how parents can be. Samia may not have any friends, because this could destroy them and make unclean. When they leave at the departure to Algeria has her beloved Teddy, Samia breaks down for small a world. Once in Algeria, it has to land the feeling on another planet. She must disguise and has been always the reluctance of her mother felt that she repeatedly makes clear that the mother has to plug in for their "misconduct" shocks. The father complied, and not at some point they are on for the love of parents to look for. Will the latter do not know, since she was born as a girl and brings nothing but trouble. 's Wedding is not long in coming, and they returned to Paris to live there with her husband - a life which is marked by fear, beatings and rape. He wakes her at night, since it is their job to serve her husband and meet him at any time. She does her mother's attention and asks for help, but they said that it was normal and a man has the right to beat his wife to bring their conduct in was that had always been and will always remain so.
Although it is known by many accounts and reports, as it can go in Muslim families, I am shocked again and again how women are oppressed and what they have to do everything. But perhaps that is because of my western upbringing and my independence. This book is brutal and it would often put it down because you understand the indifference of the mother can not and Samia "see" is no longer here like how she is tormented, you're doing it not yet, because a happy ending awaits.
This book is highly recommended because it is immersed in a world, which one might not imagine wirkilch, but is shaken by such books always awake and should not think in drawers.
Samia is a strong woman and does not fight for themselves but for their children. She is the mother she never had.
