Waris Dirie (the name means desert flower) lives a double life - by day she is a famous model and UN spokeswoman on women's rights in Africa, at night she dreams of her native Somalia. Waris, one of 12 children, was born into a traditional family of desert nomads in East Africa. She remembers her early childhood as carefree- racing camels and moving on with her family to the next grazing spot - until it came her turn to meet the old woman who administered the ancient custom imposed on most Somalian girls: circumcision. Waris suffered this torture when she was just five years old. Then, aged 12, when her father attempted to arrange a marriage with a 60 year old stranger in exchange for five camels - she took flight. After an extraordinary escape through the dangerous desert she made her way to London and worked as a maid for the Somalian ambassador until that family returned home. Penniless and speaking little English, she became a janitor in Mc Donalds where she was famously discovered by a fashion photographer. Her story is a truly inspirational and extraordinary self-portrait of a remarkable woman whose spirit is as breathtaking as her beauty.

评分因为喜欢《沙漠之花》这部电影,便找了同名书来看,没想到书比电影更好看。 电影着重于“割礼”,书的内容比较具体,详细的述说了华莉丝.迪里在不同时期的生活状态。因看过电影的缘故,我的注意力没有集中在“割礼”上。 读完,如鲠在喉。好些片段让人揪心。比如:华莉丝通过拍...
评分先看的电影,非常喜欢,然后开始读文字。 尤其推荐给想要改变自己命运的女性,Waris那种不屈服于命运的精神值得我们学习。 曾经看过关于割礼的报道文学,Waris的亲身经历给了我一种更为直观的感受,在这个世界上,还有无数忍受痛苦和压迫的女性,比起她们,我们真的是幸福和自...
