Amán tells her life from childhood as the daughter of tribal leaders in Somalia: a romance with a white boy, the painful circumcision, and the marriage imposed at thirteen. After escaping to the city, her attractiveness and desire for discovery lead her to a world of parties and girls who, like her, have fled. A story of struggle and survival.
Work told to Virginia Lee Barnes and Janice Boddy, translated by R. M. Bassols; published in 1999.
For readers of memoirs and testimonies about women, tradition, migration, and freedom.
