It is true there is no greater bond than mother and child. I think almost every mother would behave in the same manner if she passes from such situation. .Of course Allah sets our destiny.

Nice humor. Lol. Men and women working as a team and not adversaries makes everything easier.

I did not see Nadia as aggressive. She seemed courageous and full of conviction. Those traits are admirable in my estimation. I rather liked her character and the way she wouldn't let the antics of her ex sway her in the least.

I was a little surprised when Nadia got on the plane. That did not match the actions of my friends who are mothers. When she got off, I was almost relieved. However, I kinda wanted her to tell Waleed the truth about why he couldn't go to the concert.

I don't really find her aggressive. On the contrary, I think she is kind and smart. There is no better tact than that of knowing what to do at the right time and I completely give it to Nadia

I think she's not. It is normal for the mother to be strong-willed and brave for her son's sake.

NO!! She is not too aggressive!! She is simply assertive and doesn't let anyone push her around. I absolutely adore Nadia for that!!

I believe that this was love and care, which might have appeared as aggression at times...

I don't think she was too aggressive. In any case, I liked her strong will.

I agree. She wasn't aggressive enough as Amagine said.
I agrew as well. Who else has the power to be aggressive for their children, but their parents? It's a hard job, but it's what you signed up for becoming a parent
Between the pages of a book is a lovely place to be...

Is Nadia aggressive? I don't think so. But she is a strong woman. I believe that as a parent (especially a mother), children is the highest priority and therefore he/she will do everything in his/her power to keep them save.

As of now, I think both men and women are running the world. In Nadia's case, however, I think it may be better to say that she is on her way to the spot of being a powerful (not just strong) woman. Remember that 'My Trip to Adele' takes place a few years after Nadia have taken a stance against her ex-husband, so what we are seeing in this book is actually right in the middle of the process of her development as a powerful woman. If the authors add a few more chapters, or write a sequel, then I believe we might see a stronger Nadia, one that I think her ex-husband will not stand a chance against her.

I don't think she was too aggressive in her role. I also think that a bond between a father and child can be just as strong. I like to think that strong individuals run the world instead of a certain gender. I don't fully understand the question, but theses are my opinions regardless. :D

Not aggressive but rather strong-willed. She is very much aware of her rights and won't be intimidated by anything or anyone.

I definitely do not think that she was too aggressive. Yes, she was fierce, but she had to be in order to obtain her and her son's rights. She was trapped in an oppressive relationship and society, so her strength was necessary in order to move forward.
