The Girl Who Fell To Earth (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
Sophia writes of her very unusual life and childhood. The offspring of a Qatari Bedouin man who came to America and a very American girl from Washington state, she spends her childhood torn between the two worlds. She doesn't feel completely comfortable in either world, but manages to find strength from each place as she makes her way. The book covers just a few years of her life, from about age 9 until about age 18. It was difficult to understand much of her description of the Qatari region and lifestyle, but it was educational all the same. Interesting book. I sometimes buy books without reading their descriptions. And then I randomly start reading at some point in the future. That was the case here. I actually didn't realize it was a memoir until about 75% into it. I thought it was fiction in a memoir style.As it is, I really enjoyed this though the ending was sorely disappointing. It just ended. Seemingly randomly. Or maybe I just didn't get it. Whatever.
