I Am Nujood, Age 10 and Divorced by Delphine Minoui, Nojoud Ali

5.0

This might be my favorite book of the year so far. I am very ignorant of Yemeni--and much of the Eastern world's specific issues. I'm aware that child marriage is a common practice, but because I'm not exposed to the tradition where I live, the concept seems almost unreal to me. However, Nujood's story has enlightened me, and humanized the concept that this is a real occurrence amongst the world. I'm very glad to have read it.
