Beneath my Mothers Feet

Name of the Book: Beneath my Mothers Feet
Author: Amjed Qamar
Genere: Novel

Last week I started a book called beneath my mother’s feet. Let me first fill you in on what happened last week in the book. This book is about a beautiful daughter named Nazia, as her family's problems push her towards making a difficult decision that can change her life.  When her father gets into an accident at work, Nazia's life changes. After several weeks of her father in the hospital and not working, Nazia and her mother are 'forced' to seek work, work cleaning houses, a job with no respect, disgraceful at its very core.  Which means Nazia has to drop out of school to help her mother. The fact that her older always disappeared so he couldn’t have to bring home money to support the family, only adds to everyone's frustration. After all, no one wants a housekeeper for a daughter-in-law. Nazia is angry that her father is allowing this to happen. That he's allowing her mother to pull her out of school so she can work as a maid in three or four households. It's an unpleasant world, one where happiness isn't even considered possible in marriage. To Nazia, men mean one thing T-R-O-U-B-L-E. Nazia keeps being disappointed over and over again by the men in her life--her father, her brother, her uncle. Could she be making the realization that the only person she can rely on is herself? What does Nazia want out of her life? And what is she willing to do to get what she wants? Will she go for her dreams even if it means disobeying her parents? Disappointing them? Read the book to find out about the end.
