Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Amira Badir, a young woman from a wealthy family in the Middle Eastern country of al-Remal, lives a life of luxury in opulent palaces. But repressive al-Remal discourages intelligence and initiative, so her life is also one of stark contrasts: wearing designer gowns at home, but never stepping outside without being swathed in black veils and accompanied by an escort.
Amira is not prepared for the sadistic savagery of her new husband, nor for the increasing control he exerts over her. Fearing for her safety, she escapes with her baby to start a new life in the United States. But her past—and her powerful husband—won’t give her up easily. . . .
Review:
"A spellbinding story of one womans struggle to escape the gilded cage of the Middle Eastern aristocracy....I inhaled it!"
Synopsis:
Recalling the power and emotion of Not Without My Daughter and Princess, Soheir Khashoggi tells the story of a woman locked behind the oppressive walls of a modern-day harem. People magazine ran an article on Mirage and Khashoggi.
