Re: What are you reading?
Beneath My Mother's Feet.............was a really good book. Simply written yet strong. It's about a lower middle class family that lives in Karachi. The daughter, 15-year-old Nazia, is the main character. Her parents have been saving up for her dowry for years. But then they lose it. And several tragedies take place that put the family in financial crisis. Nazia's simple life as she knows it comes to an end. And in the process of supporting her mother.........she learns some painful truths about her family members whom she used to adamantly defend and hold in high regard.
**
Ten Questions*.......is the book that **Slumdog Millionaire* is based on. There are some major differences between the book and the movie. While I enjoyed the movie........so far........I REALLY like the book as well. It's a simple read that captures and maintains your attention.
