An intimate first-person account of a young woman's coming-of-age in Somalia. The daughter of tribal leaders, Aman recounts her dramatic life with stark simplicity and winning candour: an innocent childhood romance with a white boy that leads to murder; her circumcision "ceremony"; an unwanted marriage at the age of thirteen; and her daring escape to the city where her beauty and curiosity lead her into a world of white men, parties and runaway girls.

'Aman' takes the reader beyond the headlines of a war-torn country to tell the true story of what life is like for a woman in Somalia, and it vividly evokes another way of life while at the same time illuminating the female experience everywhere.
