Aman, The Story of a Somali Girl - Aman, Virginia Lee Barnes, Janice Boddy

The daughter of tribal leaders, Aman recounts her dramatic life with stark simplicity and winning candour- an innocent child-hood romance with a white boy that leads to murder; her circumcision 'ceremony'; an uwanted marriage at the age of thirteen; and her daring escape to the city where her beauty and curiosity lead her into a world of white men, parties and runaway girls. Aman takes the reader beyond the headlines of a wartorn country to tell the true story of what life is like for a woman in Somalia.
