A Victim of the Law of Men - SOUAD
A must read for anyone who thinks that we should respect religions and cultures unquestionably. What about human rights? The more I read and understand about many Muslim cultures, the more appalled I am (and I thought that I would become more tolerant with knowledge). I am so thankful that I live in Malaysia where all are free. Yes we have had, and still have, our problems, but what a great country, what a great life where we can make choices.
This is an incredible story. Very heartbreaking and horrifying to know that this brutality still continues today. Once I started the book, I could not put it down. Although I’m not done with it yet, I can’t wait to blog it! Really hope everyone could read this book. I don’t mind borrowing you mine! Hehehehe…
Here's the description from Publisher's Weekly:
The first true account ever published by a victim of an "honor crime," this shocking, moving, and harrowing tale has already become an international sensation.
Souad was a 17-year-old girl living in a small village in Jordan when she had the misfortune of falling in love -- an emotion that would lead to an unspeakable act of violence and a lifetime of exile from her homeland.
With a childhood marked by hard labor and physical abuse at the hands of her father, who is humiliated by the birth of many daughters and only one son, Souad is desperate to leave home. Enticed into a relationship with a handsome neighbor, her short-lived romance leaves her pregnant. Forbidden to marry until her older sisters find husbands and having brought shame to her family, Souad faces the only acceptable punishment: death.
How her family plots to kill her, her harrowing struggle to survive burns over 90% of her body after her brother-in-law douses her with gasoline and sets her on fire, her dramatic escape from Jordan, and her resolve to build a new life for herself is a tale of heartbreaking drama and remarkable courage.
