bookerworm 's review for:
Not Without My Daughter
by Betty Mahmoody
This book was mentioned in the book "Nine parts of desire". It is the true story of an American woman whose husband took her to Iran and wouldn't let her leave. According to Iranian laws, she has no rights and has to obey her husband implicitly. He can beat her and even kill her and he cannot be arrested. Neither will anyone intervene. He also has custody of her daughter.
After 1.5 years, she manages to escape with her daughter to Turkey at the risk of getting raped or tortured or killed or worse, brought back to her husband.
A very good book. Highly recommended.
