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

3.0

This was a tough one. It's terrifying to think of a 10 year old being married and everything that goes along with that. I was considering it for a 12 year old to read, and while I still think there's merit there, I think a conversation would be essential to accompany it. This is also one of those books where I just had to know where Nujood is now, and how her life turned out. It ends so hopefully. But... I guess I shouldn't have been so surprised that the man who sold her to another man didn't respect her or her income or her sisters after the book was published. I hope that her life is one where she has bodily autonomy and makes her own choices, but... I don't have much confidence.
