Pen It Rather Key It

This is my third book by Daphne Du Maurier, and did I love it? Yes, and No. No, because, at times, I felt the narration was dragged. I wanted to move on to what was next, but the moment won’t pass. I was able to predict the next part in a few places. This wasn’t…

I finished this book long ago, and I needed some time to write this review since I was left wondering for days about the story. Still, I don’t know if I am doing enough justice in this review. Everything in this book is a mystery, even the ending. It is left to the reader’s imagination…

I wouldn’t say that this book is enlightening and you get information that is not already available on the internet. Despite that, it is an excellent quick read.

From working at Mcdonald’s to becoming a well-known model, Waris didn’t have anything easy. I live in Uganda and I have heard and seen the issues African women face. Reading Waris’s journey has left me dumbstruck. Female genital mutilation is a major concern in most African areas. Its brave of the author to speak about…
