Infidel Review


Ayaan Hirsi Ali's story grabs you from the first pages of the book. Dreams of abandoning a predestined future in favor of an education and career became a hard fought for actuality. She was raised in a strict Moslem environment; Somalia, Saudi Arabia and Kenya. Trying to make peace between her anger at her repression as a female and following the tenets of her religion was an internal battle that she describes well. Running away to Holland to escape an arranged marriage of which she wanted no part, finally allowed her the freedom to blossom and become the person she is today.
This book is not only about a woman's liberation in the Western sense; it is the story of a woman courageous enough to fight the moral battles imposed on her by a restrictive upbringing.Get more detail about Infidel.
