There aren't many novels written about Somalia and targeted toward teens. When Khadija is smuggled into England she goes to live with Abdi and his family. One day a famous fashion designer spots her on the street and wants her as a model. Khadija agrees because her brother has just been kidnapped in Somalia and she needs to pay his ransom. This is a slow moving story told in three alternating points of view. It is about families and homeland and what you'll do to save them. This is the story of Abdi; Khadija and Freya. Who all meet in London. Khadija is smuggled into England by a fixer, and housed with Abdi. Freya is the daughter of a very successful designer mother and photographer father. Her parents are seperated but friendly. When her mother is inspired by a visit to Somalia to create a collection she decides to showcase it with the help of Khadija, building a sense of anticipation about the entire thing. However things turn sour when Khadija's brother is kidnapped for ransom. It's an interesting story, I liked how the author got a sense of different people in the three different narratives. Interesting look at different worlds through different eyes. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
