really liked it

An honest portrayal of the life of a young nomad teenage girl in Pakistan. The traditions and emotional conflicts are insightful. However, some of the descriptions of the setting were too detailed for my eye, knowing the culture well; but would be exotic and fascinating to any reader not familiar with the setting. Its heartbreaking, but also has a positive beat to it, as a young girl prepares herself to enter a forced marriage. Wants me wanna read the sequel: Haveli.
