There are so many positive reviews about this book. I wonder if there is room for another review. I had a hard time enjoying this book at first cause I had read two other works of fiction, and 2 true stories and this was not as descriptive or as entertaining. So when there are so many positive reviews you wonder what others are getting from the book that you didnt. If you start reading this book and feel this way dont give up. Keep reading. I did find the book got better and more interesting. I esp liked that one of the older daughters gets married and the details that are described and explained.
A few things that made this hard was that many of the characters names started with the Letter S. and it took some time to keep all the family member straight.
This was written by a female reporter but it didnt feel like she was telling the story it felt more like the family was telling the story themselves. I could feel each characters frustration and despair. This book is not all about bad treatment of women but how the whole family feels trapped and defeated by the events in their lives and their country.
