Description

Aman. The Story of a Somali Girl as told to Virginia Lee Barnes and Janice Boddy. Aman is the intimate firs-person account of a woman's coming-of-age in Somalia. The daughter of tribal leaders, Aman recounts her dramatic life with stark simplicity and winning candour: an innocent childhood romance with a white boy that leads to murder; her circumcision 'ceremony'; an unwanted marriage at the age of thirteen; and her daring escape to the city where her beauty and curiosity leads her into a world of white men, parties and runaway girls. The book is lightly soiled around the edges but still tight and bright. Previous owners name or inscription on inside front page
