![]() ![]() ![]() It seems that Delphine Minoui tried to write the book as if she were Nujood, a ten year old with minimal education, instead of finding away to balance Nujood’s voice and story, while adding the detail and back story to give the reader a connection and understanding to what and why this was allowed to occur. I don’t feel like I know her, or know her family, or really any characters in the book. I never felt a connection to Nujood, naturally on the premise I was cheering her on, but I would have cheered anyone in her position on. Her plight is powerful, but the telling of her story is awkward, unrelatable and in no way does her justice. Written on a 6.2 reading level, the story of this young girl, is not well developed. ![]() I don’t often read non-fiction, but like I am Malala, I am Nujood, Age 10 and Divorced seemed too compelling to turn down, plus it isn’t a long book, just 188 pages even with the epilogue, reading group guide, notes and acknowledgements. ![]()
