I Am Nujood, Age 10 and Divorced by Delphine Minoui, Nojoud Ali
4.0
This story was ghost written by Delphine Minoui and originally published in France. It is written more as a timeline of events rather than a novel, but Nujood’s story is still powerful to hear.
I felt compelled to find out where she is now and how her story progressed after the book was published. Unfortunately, what I found was not good news. Nujood was forced out of her parents house, and her father squandered most of the money that was meant for Nujood and her sister’s education. He also sold off her younger sister to a much older man. Nujood married again in 2014 and has 2 children. I hope things are better for her now.
