This story follows a bit of life of Farida who writes for Charisma which is a magazine in Egypt. As we enter the story she's been taking a bit of time off because of having gone through a rape and now she has written an article about the rape. I really felt for her as she sat down to write the article and she had to relive the entire rape that she had went through in her mind. It's very interesting to see neighbors and coworkers reactions to her and knowing a few Muslims I would say those reactions were captured pretty accurately by the author. I was thoroughly captivated and entranced by this story as Farida rebuilds her life after having experienced the rape. Personally, I felt it was really readable, the story just flowed along and pulled me in. Once it pulled me in it kept me there and I actually read it in one sitting, enjoyed it all the way through. Though I would tell you who but those of you who like love stories, there is small one that threads through in the background. Yes, Farida does find love.
