Title: Not just about gender roles in Afghanistan
Review: It would be easy to read this book simply as further evidence of the damage caused by gender constrained roles in certain Islamic societies. To do so, though, would diminish the story.What makes this story special is the impact of choice, and individual spirit.Is Samira a victim, or is she triumphant? Do the lessons she teaches others as Samir, about bravery and about confidence provide them with options? Is Samira ultimately the only person able to soar free of certain cultural restraints or can others do it as well?It is this hope, this possibility that enables the story to finish on a positive note. Wherever Samira is, and whatever she does, she has had the confidence to move beyond traditional roles.Read the book, and decide for yourself.Highly recommended.Jennifer Cameron-Smith
