Interpretation During Books Sold

Zana Muhsen, born and bred in Birmingham, is of Yemeni origin. When her father told her she was to spend a holiday with relatives in North Yemen, she jumped at the chance. Aged 15 and 13 respectively, Zana and her sister discovered that they had been literally sold into marriage, and that on their arrival they were virtually prisoners. They had to adapt to a completely alien way of life, with no running water, dung-plastered walls, frequent beatings, and the ordeal of childbirth on bare floors with only old women in attendance. After eight years of misery and humiliation Zana succeeded in escaping, but her sister is still there, and it seems likely that she will now never leave the country where she has spent more than half her life. This is an updated edition of Zana's account of her experiences.

Piece Out Of Books Sold

A heartbreaking appeal!How could those Arab men "buy" girls from overseas, claimed that they're married with documents whipped from no where, and without properly solemnised the marriage ceremony? I just can't imagine, modern British girls being sold to Arab men and to lead life of peasants among the deserts and mountains of Yemen, with no modern facilities, and forced to be the slaves of their in-laws!

Holy shit.Seriously, I have little to no words to describe this book. It's not the most well-written piece in the world, but I'll cut her some slack for being ripped from her native country of England at the young age of 16 and forced to speak another language for 8 years while she was beaten, raped, enslaved, and lied to, and as an added bonus, she got to watch her younger sister go through the same shit in the next town over. See that run-on sentence? We can't all write beautifully when we're

Well written book. Living in the contemporary Middle East, it was hard to imagine that this happens but in small towns and underdeveloped countries, undoubtedly it does. My heart went out to the author as she retold her situation and her fathers unwillingness to accept his upbringing of daughters in a western world.

actual rating: 2.5/5 starsThis book follows such a heavy topic that is very present in our society. How can a father sell his own daughters?! But despite that there were a lot of moments I felt very bored by the story and I felt that nothing really happens most of the time. It took me a long of time to read the book and the edition I read didn't help. The story was very touching but overall it was a 2.5/5 stars reading.

I brought this along with the follow up 'A promise to Nadia' I can't recall the press coverage in the 80's but this is still going on. Young girls are 'sold' by their family and taken out of the country my first question was 'whats going on with the school system why didn't anyone ask where the girls where?You will feel angry at Zana's father and the men that brought her, sad for the girls who had lost their family and friends, frustration as their Mum battled to get them back and outrage that

Probably one of the most harrowing and compelling reads! This autobiography told by Zana, one of two young teenage sisters from Birmingham, whose father told them he was taking them abroad for a holiday, but instead sold them into marriage and slavery to boys they had never met and who lived in the Yemeni mountains.In the Yemen were forced to live in poverty stricken villages and were cruelly treated. Every day they walked over rocky terrain to draw water from a well; they were battered and

I read this book about two years ago, and it didn't make a huge impression on me as there are many other books on this topic. In RE today, we watched the documentary of this book, and actually seeing where the characters lived, and hearing their voices makes the book more real and sad. I really recommend seeing the documentary when reading this, the story is truly heartwrenching.
