After the two bestsellers Kwiat pustyni and Córka nomadów, Waris Dirie has written another book, a deeply personal and extraordinarily moving one. She was the first woman to speak out about the cruel ritual of female circumcision. Girls are still subjected to this torture, which is very often life-threatening, not only in Africa and the East but also in Europe. And it is precisely the events she encountered in Europe, and her meetings with victims and perpetrators, that she describes in her book.
