Zana Muhsen

The story of Zana and Nadia continues and is equally as shocking as the first book. Zana is now safe at home in the UK and campaigning in the media for the release of her sister who is still in Yemen with her children. Attempts to meet Nadia are thwarted and she is being forced to say that she wants to stay when it is clear that she wants to come home. Even sections of the media seem to think that Zana should just forget her campaign.
It shocked me that this saga was still going on with no show more prospect of Nadia's release, and Zana seemed to be facing new obstacles everywhere she turned. It made me angry that our government seemed completely helpless! show less

Dos niñas, una de 13 y otra de 15 años, hermanas, nacidas en Londres, su padre, árabe, de Yemen, les dice que las va a llevar de vacaciones a su país porque allá, hay una playas hermosas y que se van a divertir mucho. Ellas emocionadas con su viaje, cuando llegan se enteran sin mas ni mas, que su padre las había vendido, para casarlas, aparentemente.

Es una historia verídica contada por Zana Muhsen, la que cuando partió de su tierra tenía 15 años, ella nos narra, su pesadilla, las show more vejaciones, las violaciones y también la forma en que ella logro escapar de esa pesadilla.

Es un libro realmente revelador y conmovedor, imposible que no te toque, que no te haga sentir, algo, coraje, indignación, dolor, empatia, simpatia (por la protagonista y su hermana)

Muy recomendable sobre todo para aquellos que piensan que esas cosas realmente no pasan y son mitos show less

An emotionally gripping true account of 2 girls abducted by their father and sold into marriage. Forced to reside in a poverty stricken environment and then further subjected to a long line of cruelty...battering and rape.
A moving experience which will have you asking questions time and time again. think I will keep,and read this one again.~ Worth gettting if you fancy something different.............

Story of a young girl and her sister sold into marriage in Yemen, finally escaping after 8 years. A decent read but similar to other books, although i respect the author for what she was put through
