具体描述
Waris Dirie leads a double life -- by day, she is an international supermodel and human rights ambassador for the United Nations; by night, she dreams of the simplicity of life in her native Somalia and the family she was forced to leave behind. Desert Flower, her intimate and inspiring memoir, is a must-read for anyone who has ever wondered about the beauty of African life, the chaotic existence of a supermodel, or the joys of new motherhood. Waris was born into a traditional Somali family, desert nomads who engaged in such ancient and antiquated customs as genital mutilation and arranged marriage. At twelve, she fled an arranged marriage to an old man and traveled alone across the dangerous Somali desert to Mogadishu -- the first leg of an emotional journey that would take her to London as a house servant, around the world as a fashion model, and eventually to America, where she would find peace in motherhood and humanitarian work for the U.N. Today, as Special Ambassador for the U.N., she travels the world speaking out against the barbaric practice of female genital mutilation, promoting women's reproductive rights, and educating people about the Africa she fled -- but still deeply loves. Desert Flower will be published simultaneously in eleven languages throughout the world and is currently being produced as a feature film by Rocket Pictures UK.

incredibly touching
评分世间的丑恶远远超出我的想象，在大陆所受的苦难和非洲某些地区的野蛮礼俗没法比。
评分the book show me the whole world of fashion, but that's not the point, it is Waris Dirie's life stories which consisted of dangers and struggles and finally she became stronger that touch me. Not only did she made life abundant and happy but she also helped a lot of other African women to get rid of the suffering of circumcision.
评分说不清是事件本身的震撼还是叙事者的文笔了……很动人……
评分豆瓣上面没有这个电影 刚看完了 震撼有 可惜拍摄手法有点儿烂
