Updated: Jul 16, 2019

Amal Unbound by Aisha Saeed So here goes my first review Deep breaths there

. HOW OFTEN DO YOU WAKE UP AND THINK I HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING ALL OVER AGAIN?

How often do we take our normal ordinary lives for granted? Well let me introduce you to Amal A twelve year old girl living in Pakistan a village that is not even represented with a dot on the maps She is living her usual ordinary life as she is chatting to her best her best friend Omar, her mother is pregnant with her fourth sister is coming with her mother experiencing depression Now after the birth of the child her mother is really tired and Amal has to do almost all the chores and even has to look after her little sisters Rabia and Safa! Blackouts are common for the people living there admist all the chaos in this blackout Amal wants to go out and find peace for some time to find something so that she can cling on to something to hope as she is strolling through the market leaving her sisters behind along with Seema Something happens in the market that turns her world upside down

The most unimaginable

The most unthinkable

.

On a personal note : I loved the way the book turned out to be the unfolding of the most horrific and the most releiving moments I can say that hell yeah I went onto a roller coaster of emotions I absolutely adored that the writer Aisha Saeed connected me with Amal through her words and how as the story went on you could reflect on how the story at the beginning gradually connects with the end

.

Also by Aisha Saeed

Written in the stars

Our stories our voices
