Being A 15Year Old Teen I Loved This Book So Much I Finished It On A Flight To Greece N Was Finished 4Hours Later When We Arrived.
This Book Was Filled With Good Times And Horrific Times..I Got A Few Weird Looks From The Air Stewards And A Few " Are You Ok?" When Some Parts Of The Book Left Me With Tears Rolling Down My Face =[
Over All This Is A Wonderfull Book And I Would Reccomend This To Anyone!

This book is by far my favourite book. It is gripping and tells of one womens love for her daughter and plight to escape from her abusive husband and his family. Fabulous...

I absolutely could not put this book down! my daughter and mother were also hooked. This book is an amazing insight into life in Iran in the 1980's, the way of life for women in Iran and an eye opener to the huge cultural difference between the West and this Islamic country. It is an exiting story which left me wanting to understand more about Iran and it's history and life for women there.

Very hard to put down.

This was one of those books that when I wasn't reading it, I was thinking about reading it...
It was exceptionally well written in that it was very descriptive without being overbearing. The pace moved on quite quickly throughout the book which ensured that it was captivating.
Betty and her daughter were exceptionally lucky to have escaped alive... All in all an excellent, highly recommended read.

misleading cover

A note about the cover: It's misleading and unfair to Iranians. In no part of Iran do woman wear a full niqab like that, with only the eyes visible. That's a Gulf Arab you see on the cover.
Iranians are not Arabs. Sheesh.
