I don't know where to start about this book. Dancing in the Mosque destroys me in the harshest and the most beautiful way possible. If that doesn't make sense, read the book and you will get what I'm saying. It is about Afghan mother, who was only a girl, who wants to be free and alive. This book makes me understand more about Afghanistan, womanhood, and motherhood a little better than how I did yesterday.
I know that you’ve been told I am dead. But I am not dead, my dear Siawash. I am very much alive.
I am your mother. My name is Homeira. And this is my voice.
I died little by little every time I read Homeira's letters to Siawash. HELP ME. I can't stop crying. I CAN NOT. Good God ....
