BELONGING

 by Sameem Ali

 ‘It was my own flesh and blood who had hit me, whipped me, abducted me, forced me into marriage, scarred me, ignored me, humiliated me and, worst of all, failed to love me.’ Abandoned by her parents, Sameem Ali grew up in a children’s home. When her family took her back she was beaten and treated like a slave. Sameem was excited when she visited Pakistan for the first time, but she soon realised that she wasn’t there on holiday. Aged just thirteen, she was forced to marry a complete stranger. Two months later she was pregnant. As a young teenage mother, Sameem suffered further abuse from her family. After finding true love, she ran away from home in order to keep her child safe. But she was about to pay the price for violating her family’s honour.  Excellent book, really sad but couldnt put it down.
