I read Deborah Rodriguez’s memoir Kabul Beauty School and loved it, of course I may be slightly biased because I’ve been a cosmetologist for 40 years and was a wild woman during my 20’s, so I feel a kinship with the author. Wild woman would be putting it mildly when it comes to Deborah, who moved to Afghanistan after 911 to help a ministry and ended up doing hair and sharing her profession with the woman there. Her new memoir is even a nuttier move because, after barely escaping Afghanistan, she chooses to live in Mazatlan, Mexico a drug war hot spot, rather than guru-out in the hills of Napa, California. Okay, it does make sense when she puts the pieces of her story together, but still I found myself praying that everything would work out for her. She’s brave, and vulnerable, and funny so I hope you’ll take a journey with her because it will entertain you and touch your heart. 5 stars. ( ) I have not read Kabul Beauty School, however it does not matter if you have or not. Margarita Wednesdays can be read as a stand alone novel. The author does a good job of explaining what caused her to leave and run to Mazatlan, Mexico. To be honest, I wished that I had read Kabul Beauty School as it sounded like a interesting book. I may go back and read it. This book was a little dry. In the beginning, I had no problems reading this book. I got a good image of the author and her life. After a while, though I grew a little tried of reading every details. They kind of repeated themselves with the wording. Not to take anything away from the author. She does seem like a nice person. I just wishes that I felt closer to her through her story. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
