10 Minutes 38 Seconds in This Strange World
by Elif Shafak
I don't usually like books about the Muslim women in the Middle East because their oppression is just disturbing, but what is different about this book is the clarity of the emotional tale. Even though Leila is young she knows she cannot live with hypocrisy, but those strong feelings is also why suffers a life as a whore and dies young. The book is about all the people that touch her life - her young traumatized mother and the other women she meets who are trying to escape the restrictions put on them. It is touching, memorable, and ageless story.
