Its been some time since I read this book.But it still remain fresh in my mind.Its a sordid world the author presents,with young girls who become prostitutes,sometimes even guided into the world by their own mothers.Seems there is a tradition of that sort of thing in Pakistan More about that here
Womens emancipation has come a long way since we got the vote. That is in the western world. But if you are poor and female in that part of the world...things arent so great.
The author debates with herself throughout the book if she should break her role as an objective observer and step in to help some of the girls she encounter.
She does try to talk with the mother of the family about their sitation,but its clear that the mother is unable to understand her viewpoint.To them this is their way of life that has been going on for generations.
I would recommend this book,despite its grim premise its a riveting read. You really start to care about the persons the author meets and interacts with.And your heart breaks for them.
