Waris Dirie leads a double life -- by day, she is an international supermodel and human rights ambassador for the United Nations; by night, she dreams of the simplicity of life in her native Somalia and the family she was forced to leave behind. Desert Flower, her intimate and inspiring memoir, is a must-read for anyone who has ever wondered about the beauty of African life, the chaotic existence of a supermodel, or the joys of new motherhood. Waris was born into a traditional Somali family, desert nomads who engaged in such ancient and antiquated customs as genital mutilation and arranged marriage. At twelve, she fled an arranged marriage to an old man and traveled alone across the dangerous Somali desert to Mogadishu -- the first leg of an emotional journey that would take her to London as a house servant, around the world as a fashion model, and eventually to America, where she would find peace in motherhood and humanitarian work for the U.N. Today, as Special Ambassador for the U.N., she travels the world speaking out against the barbaric practice of female genital mutilation, promoting women's reproductive rights, and educating people about the Africa she fled -- but still deeply loves. Desert Flower will be published simultaneously in eleven languages throughout the world and is currently being produced as a feature film by Rocket Pictures UK.

the book show me the whole world of fashion, but that's not the point, it is Waris Dirie's life stories which consisted of dangers and struggles and finally she became stronger that touch me. Not only did she made life abundant and happy but she also helped a lot of other African women to get rid of the suffering of circumcision.
评分这是一本很有缘分的书。好几年前的时候,看过电影的影评,但是不知道是什么电影。后来,去年老师说要读一本英文小说,就去图书馆里仅有的少数外文图书里面找。因为都是大写,所以就随便拿了一本。正好就是这一本,打开看了一下介绍的时候,发现居然是这本,二话不说就去登记了????。每天断断续续的读完了,真的觉得Dirie.很大胆,她的这种心态与勇气可能是我永远学不来的吧!很少看人物传记,所以,这是我目前看到的最好的,感觉最真实的。后面写这个report的时候,写了好几页的英文稿。写完之后才发现。。。老师说只需要200词左右????。很爱这本书
评分豆瓣上面没有这个电影 刚看完了 震撼有 可惜拍摄手法有点儿烂
评分非洲版的美国梦,情节跌宕起伏绝对不让人失望,很励志是真的TT

不论是急匆匆的翻看 还是慢慢地细读 这都是一部非常精彩的传记 简直就是像小说一样 最贫穷的国家之一 各种机遇 各种逃跑 各种历险 一个黑人女孩 面临死亡、强暴、遣返 但却依然是超模 其他的超模付出的是努力 这多沙漠之花还付出了生命 我们是不是也该更珍惜我们的生活 ...
评分因为喜欢《沙漠之花》这部电影,便找了同名书来看,没想到书比电影更好看。 电影着重于“割礼”,书的内容比较具体,详细的述说了华莉丝.迪里在不同时期的生活状态。因看过电影的缘故,我的注意力没有集中在“割礼”上。 读完,如鲠在喉。好些片段让人揪心。比如:华莉丝通过拍...

评分之前看过电影,比较震惊。书的内容更纤细些,但我想说的不是华利斯迪里童年时为了食物、水源过着整日疲于奔跑的艰苦生活,不是割礼对非洲大多数女性残忍的毒害,也不是华利斯成为名模的尖酸成长历程。而是,书中从11章开始华利斯对神的称呼,从前十章中的安拉改成之后的上帝,...
评分华莉丝自小到大遭了不少的磨难,可她却从未想过要放弃自己,对生活依然保持着一种希望,这让我深深感受到了生命原来可以如此之坚韧。她就像石缝中的花一般,拼了命,也要长出来。我无法想象,如果我碰到她所遭到的一切,我会不会还有勇气活下去。 男女平等,为什么那样困难呢?...
