I Am Nujood, Age 10 and Divorced by Delphine Minoui, Nojoud Ali

3.0

Mabrouk, Nujood! The content of this book is initially but fascinating and ultimately inspirational. The epilogue is especially uplifting, as Delphine Minoui illuminates the resulting outcry in defense of child wives and other girls' petitions for divorce. The book also dives into Yemeni culture well. Although, writing as a ten-year-old, while intentional and adding to the pathos of the story, detracted from my personal experience with the book as I tend to prefer more elaborate prose.
