A Promise To Nadia by Zana Muhsen
Ten years ago Zana Muhsen escaped from the life of slavery in the Yemen into which her father had sold her as a child bride, leaving behind her baby son, her sister Nadia, and Nadia's two small children. As she described so powerfully in her internationally bestselling book SOLD, Zana made a solemn vow to Nadia that she would do everything she possibly could obtain their freedom as well. A PROMISE TO NADIA will tell the extraordinary story of those ten years; of the family's lone campaign against the Yemeni authorities; of the refusal of their own government in London to help; and of the despair that forced them into a desperate deal with an unofficial military-style organisation specialising in the recovery of abducted children.
'A powerful, skilfully written account of a woman's struggle against a patriarchal, disgusting and contemptible practice that, unbelievably still happens today' SUNDAY BUSINESS POST '[A] tragic, haunting story.' RTE GUIDE
