Brick Lane Monica Ali "I chose to read "Brick Lane" for a completely random reason. I loved it. It was about Bangladesh, about which I know next to nothing. And it just seemed like a find. The main character is named Nazineen and she grows up in Bangladesh. We see her as a child. And suddenly her parents marry her off in an arranged to someone twice her age, 40 years old, in London. And off she goes, having never been outside her village in Bangladesh. So, it's about her struggles and how she transcends the limitation and becomes a person. What I liked most about "Brick Lane" is how it incorporates the facts of history. The reader sees the events of modern life through the eyes of one woman. I've watched for something from Ali and I'm hoping to find something else good by her. But I think this was, this was her story. There's not much I didn't like about "Brick Lane." I'm just hoping she has more to share. I would recommend this to people who would like to know more about the Muslim point of view, what it's like to be Islamic. It's a wonderful insight into a culture that many of don't really know much about. I give "Brick Lane" four stars, maybe four and a half because it's so well done."
