Zana Muhsen Książki

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.

Moving true-life story of a young woman's 10-year attempt to free her abducted sister from Yemeni slavery.

Zana Muhsen gelang die Flucht aus dem Jemen, wo ihr Vater eine Zwangsehe für sie arrangiert hatte, ins heimatliche England. In der bewegenden Fortsetzung des Bestsellers „Noch einmal meine Mutter sehen“ schildert sie den verzweifelten Kampf um ihre Schwester und ihren Sohn, die sie im Jemen zurücklassen musste und denen sie das Versprechen gab: »Ich werde nicht aufgeben, bis auch ihr eure Freiheit zurückerhalten habt!«
