Hidden Messages Inside the Book

" 'I found the baby's father' she said. He couldn't help it - he looked. The expression on her face told him everything. Othman" (Ferraris 259). Sometimes, the people you trust in can be really liars. Katya loved Othman, and sadly he was really an infidel. Katya was going to marry Othman, but luckly, she found out the truth about her fiance. It must be very hard for her to overcome this situation. Othman had a very mean behavior and didn't think about how it could affect Katya.

How could Othman be so mean

"You know what's funny? My father didn't want me to marry Othman" (Ferraris 260). Katya's father somehow predicted that Othman was not going to be a good husband. If Katya would have been obedient, maybe she would not have been traspassing this consequences. I am sure this is a really big suffering. By this quote, the author wants to show us that parent's advices are the best.

Why didn't Katya follow his dad's wills

What I learned

This book ended in a really surprising way. The mistery of Nouf got solved. Something that left me with a doubt is: Do people in Muslim families marry their siblings? because Othman was the father of his sister's baby. Other question I have is: at what ages do girls marry in muslim culture? because Nouf was getting married at the age of 15. This book was really impacting and full of surprises.
