A House in the Sky
by Amanda Lindhout
This book was incredible. I had a hard time putting it down. It was written so beautifully detailed that I could see everything in my mind, even when I didn't want to. I couldn't even attempt to put myself in her shoes, but I kept imagining what I would've done if I was her and I don't think I could ever be as strong as she was. She is a resilient human being, that's for sure. This was a shockingly sad book - it actually brought me to tears. A hard book to get through sometimes but well worth the read. One of the better books I've read in a long time. Do I think she was stupid to even go to Somalia? Of course! But NO ONE deserves to be treated like that, no matter what. This book shows how tragic women's lives are in a fundamentalist society (of any religion).
