It does not do much for the image of Pakistan and its government.However, I found this book to be an inspiring and eye opening account of what women can be forced to endure - all for the sake of culture and/or religion.
Yes, this book is dramatic and soap opera-like. Women's rights is a major problem in many countries, Pakistan being one of them, hopefully this book will make people more aware of this constant problem. This book caused further problems with her family, whom she has decided to disown and disinherit, along with the Pakistani peoples belief about their political leaders. She is the first women in Pakistan to write the truth about Pakistan's parliament, feudal system, Islamic beliefs, and women's rights. Tehmina Durrani wrote this book to break the "traditional silence" that is expected of divorced women in Pakistan. This story unravels many complicated issues that Tehmina had to deal with, and it revealed the true character of Mustafa Khar. The abuse and the pain that Tehmina went through for thirteen years is unbelievable, she truly is a women of great strength and bravery. Tehmina's unique writing style of nothing but the truth, even if it is hard to bare, is what makes this book such an amazing read. My Feudal Lord covers her adult life from 1974 to 1994. This book is about Tehmina Durrani's life as an oppressed wife of a feudal lord, and politician in Pakistan.
