Dancing in the Mosque: An Afghan Mother's Letter to Her Son by Homeira Qaderi
5.0
This isn’t normally the kind of book I read, but something sung out to me in the title.
What I discovered is hard to articulate with a single word, and I found myself toying with the words poignant, sad, devastating, unfair... but actually, when I got to the end I realised it was so much more. It was about love ... a mother’s life, and the fight a girl with the heart and strength of a lion waged against the injustice of every woman in her nation.
For anyone wanting even the slightest insight into what life is like for women living under the Taliban regime, and in the sights of ISIS, this is heartbreaking,but in the same breath heartwarming in the sense that Homeric never wavered in her desire to fight.
A worthwhile read.
