Dancing in the Mosque: An Afghan Mother's Letter to Her Son by Homeira Qaderi
4.0
This was honest writing. Lots of love and respect to the author for having the courage to put her life on paper. The collective stories of Afghan women are so familiar to me. Yet reading this one saddened me even more.
One tiny note. I've noticed that every time Homeira spoke of her ex-husband, she'd narrate some of his brutal actions, and then she says "But he is a good man and I respect him" or something to that effect. I believe her, I just wished she'd narrate some examples too that made him a good man. Nonetheless, it's not easy to write such personal anecdotes for the world to read. And for that, hats off!
Ps. Just one of these days, I hope I read a happy memoir\or even fiction written by an Afghan woman, for Afghan women.
