bookshelves: youngadult, award-winners, childhoodfavorites

An amazing look at the life of a Pakistani girl who has grown up in the desert. When she reaches marriageable age, content with the knowledge that she will marry one of her cousins, family tragedy and upheaval leads to her being used as a bargaining chip to settle a feud. The author lived among the camel-herding people of Pakistan for several years, and bases her characters on real people she knows.

Um, it's been a few years since I read the book, but there's a bit at the very end where she basically says she will keep her inner self to herself, and not let her husband see that part of her . . . but that's not a quote, you'd have to check the book for the exact words.
