She is a very strong character,her strength is drawn from her love for her son.she represents strength in women and inspires women who are oppressed in any way to fight to break their chains.I loved her character.

Thank you for stopping by here and you are right. She draws her strength from her love for her son. Who says love is not enough to conquer all... ? cheers and hugs

Its kind of funny that of the three main characters in the book only one got to go see Adele perform, it clearly says a lot about love and its evident in Nadia's action s, really wish there were more women like her willing to stand up to negative men in our society.

Right King Fisher. We need more women who would not be intimidated by the environment and stand up to any form of abuse. Thanks for your comment. Much appreciated

Nadia was my favourite character. Her courage and determination to fight for her rights in a place where male chauvinism is encouraged; a place where customs and traditions is more regarded than the law is remarkable. I love how she shielded her son from the chaos in her life. She potrayed a good image of her husband to his son despite everything. I think that speaks a lot on motherhood. A lot of mothers will make the child to be filled with so much hatred for the father, which can have a negative impact on his psychological growth. It is better to leave the children out of family issues until they old enough to understand and deal with it.

I loved Nadia. I loved how at the airport scene, she first fought, but then made a sacrifice, she signifies strength, independence and a proof that love is always within us if we choose to give it and it doesnt have to be to a man, it could be to a friend, to family or even to a cause.

Hmmm. Great reply. Love is always within us... Thanks for such insightful words

Nadia was strong through the whole book, and she has to be to be the survivor that she is. She had a painful past that her culture and society unfortunately forces her to encounter nearly every day over and over again (the ties her ex has with her son and the legal control the father has) and she still fights for what she thinks is right and for her son. She's so admirable.

Quite admirable. Her strength just radiates all through, I'm quite enamored with her character.
Thanks for your comment.

Nadia's character was actually, for me, the book's saving grace. I admired her tenacity and her devil-may-care attitude, especially since her culture had so many unreasonable demands and restraints on women.

Nadia is truly a strong character. I can only imagine how difficult her life was with her ex-husband and breaking the bindings in order to protect both herself and her son. I wish that her character story was developed just a bit more. She would have been an even better character if they had built upon her background more.

Believe me, I share your sentiment. She's a strong and formidable one

To say that Nadia challenged me as a person would be incorrect. However, she did open my eyes to the hardships faced by women from around the world. This made me more grateful to all the good things I enjoy in life and more sympathetic to the conditions in other parts of the world.

I also wish they had developed her character more. In fact, it would the book a whole lot of good. You're correct in that. Cheers

Great. I'm glad it made you more sympathetic towards others. More importantly, one should be grateful if one doesn't have to go through this things
