Waris Dirie: Desert Flower


On the occasion of the film, I read Waris Dirie's A utobiografie "Desert Flower" and wrote a detailed summary and a review. A short biography of Waris Dirie and an article on the female genital mutilation I have some time on my website.

soon:
The nomad girl Waris Dirie was born in 1965 in Somalia. When Waris was five years old, had the mother cut it. 9 years later she fled an arranged marriage to relatives in Mogadishu. As one of her uncles was Somali ambassador in London, persuaded Waris him to take her as a maid.

Although the autobiography "Desert Flower" no sufficient literary standards is remarkable the book because it Waris Dirie has managed to sensitize the public to the world about genital mutilation.

Daniel Glattauer: All seven waves


After good against Northwind now I read the continuation " All seven waves of Daniel Glattauer . For two novels I wrote detailed summaries and reviews.

In brief ("All seven waves"):
two years, Leo Leike and Emmi Rothner cultivated a friendship via e-mail without a single time to take. Since Leo went to Boston, Emmi to receive e-mails to his old address, only error messages. After nine months he comes back, and although he now has a relationship with an American and Emmi is still married before taking the two their e-mail correspondence again - and arrange to meet ...
Daniel Glattauer composed in "All seven waves" with much wit a romantic and entertaining epistolary novel entirely from e-mails. The concept is not original, however, we know from good against Northwind.
