Joanne's nephew, Isaac, gave her a copy of INFIDEL by Ayaan Hirsi Ali for Christmas. After Joanne had read it she suggested I read it too. It is the auto biography of the Somali woman who fled Somalia, took refuge in the Netherlands, eventually was elected to to parliament and now lives in the U.S.
I found it fascinating and hard to put down. It helped my understand how the nation of Somalia unwound. Seeing western democracies through her eyes is revealing.
