 Great reading Apr 22, 2006
Reading this book was such a pleasure, it was hard to put it down once I started. Being a person from a "third world country" I could relate very much with a significant portion of the subject matter. The author has so masterfully portrayed her homeland in the book, that reading it is like taking a virtual tour to India. I would therefore recommand this book to anyone who wishes to learn something about India and its culture.
Highly suggested reading. Apr 16, 2006
"Because You Are a Girl?" is one of the most fascinating and inspiring books I have ever encountered! I would like to pay a standing ovation to the author for having the courage to open her life for the entire world as she has lived it. Her writing generates exceptionally magnetic effects. After reading the book once, I failed to stay away from it and read it for the second time and enjoyed it as much as I did it for the first time. Highly suggested reading.

GREAT READING, INFORMATIVE, AND FLUENT AUTOBIOGRAPHY. MS SHARMA GIVES US VERY DESCRIPTIVE DETAILS AND ACCOUNTS OF HER EXPERIENCES GROWING UP IN INDIA. SHE IS VERY OPEN AND STRAIGHT FORWARD, NOTHING IS HELD BACK. SHE IS NOT ASHAME OF REVEALING FACTS. NON-STOP READING.
Hear it, Smell it, Feel it and See it. Apr 05, 2006
Follow the life of Eastern Cinderella, the years of Guddi's excruciating and awful voyage from her own home and within her own people.
Don't just read the vivid descriptions but feel them, see them, hear them, and smell them. This breathtaking book would appeal to all, no matter where you are and who you are!
a great read Apr 04, 2006
I found that once I started reading this book, I could not put it down. This truly wonderful story gives great insight into the life of a girl growing up in a magnficant and cruel land where once the feminine ruled but where now male principles dominant the land and women are considered second class citizens at best.
Mrs Sharma uses beautiful poetic language throughout as she also describes her own personal struggles growing up an uncaring family, searching for, and eventually finding peace and safety with her new family and with her new life in America.
