Let Her Fly: A Father's Journey by Ziauddin Yousafzai
5.0
I've been following Malala's work since she was shot, having read her autobiography and watched her documentary, I didn't think I'd learn much more from this book but I'm so glad I read it.
Let Her Fly is under 200 pages yet filled with engaging stories from Malala's father. It was so interesting reading about his upbringing and Malala's extended family, how they ended up in Swat Valley, and his relationships with his sons.
I'm glad Ziauddin Yousafzai spoke about the class issue in Pakistan as there are many upper/middle class Pakistani women who are educated and respected, yet lower class Pakistani women have a completely different life.
I cried at the end when he described returning home and touching the soil, I wasn't expecting to be so moved by this book which was naive of me considering I cried reading Malala's autobiography and watching her documentary.
