Kantharaye Daruwo By Ranjith Kuruppu

Kantharaye Daruwo, translated by Ranjith Kuruppu, is a powerful non-fiction biographical work based on Waris Dirie`s original book Desert Children. Unlike its prequel Kantharaye Kusuma (which focuses on Waris`s personal survival from nomadic Somalia to global stardom), this book shifts into an intense, investigative journalistic memoir tracking her global war against Female Genital Mutilation (FGM).
