( ) Wow. What a book! To say that I loved it, may be a bit odd, considering the nature of the contents. But I did. I couldn't put it down, was taken by this story of a young girl, taken prisoner an held for some time in The Bathhouse, that now serves as a prison. It is horrible to read what she and other women go through. To read of smashed hopes, stoned women, shot men, of the tortures they are suffering and to have confirmed once again, how badly people can treat one another based on religious ideas. But I'm glad I read it. I finished reading this book several days ago. But resisted myself to journal until the story I just read sunk in. I found this story very disturbing. It is well written in simple language. An ideology derived from religion and mix in with politics is a recipe for disaster. Especially in this part of the world. At the end the reader will have a lasting memory of the narrator's horendous experienced in captivity. A book worth reading. Zeige 5 von 5 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Young Adult Fiction.
HTML: In the early days of the fundamentalist revolution in Iran, a seventeen-year-old girl is arrested because of her brother's involvement with leftist politics. She is placed in a makeshift jailâ??a former bathhouse, in which other women are also being held captive. These women range in age from adolescence to eldery, their mental states from stoic to insane. With intense emotion and great literary skill, Moshiri gives voice to these prisoners, exploring their torment and struggle, as well as their courage and humanity in the face of tyrants. Based on interviews with real women who have been imprisoned, Farnoosh Moshiri's novel is a gripping and moving narrative of oppression, injustice, and the human spirit.
