Shabanu Daughter of the Wind by Suzanne Fisher Staples
This was a Newberry Honor Book, and an ALA best book for young adults.
"Life is both sweet and
cruel to strong-willed young Shabanu, whose home is the windswept
Cholistan Desert of Pakistan. The second daughter in a family with no
sons, she’s been allowed freedoms forbidden to most Muslim girls. But
when a tragic encounter with a wealthy and powerful landowner ruins the
marriage plans of her older sister, Shabanu is called upon to sacrifice
everything she’s dreamed of. Should she do what is necessary to uphold
her family’s honor—or listen to the stirrings of her own heart?" Description from Goodreads.
Read this book because it is about a girl in a different country, Pakistan. It was just as good as I hoped it would be. Not much I can tell you without giving you spoilers so if this sounds interesting to you, read it. :)
Good Day and Good Reading
