Previously, Sue lent me this book and said that this book is fantastic..Hmmm...ok...maybe I can start picking my reading habit again...I started to read this book when I was waiting for the train on my way to work....wow....once I started reading, I couldn't stop reading it...It was soooo....good!!!

This is based on a true story that happened in the siblings that lived a very difficult time in their life. The nightmare started when their father decided to sell them to his friends' sons for arranged marriage. Both Zana and Nadia didn't realise about all this and they thought that they were going for a vacation. However, in the end, they were told that they were married to their sons. There's nothing Zana and Nadia could do anymore but to be raped by their so-called husbands.

Zana wanted to go home so badly, but they insisted her to stay and ordered her to change all her westernize culture to suit the tradition in their village. At first, her mother-in-law, father-in-law and also other relatives treated her quite ok as in pulling her leg. Sooner or later, they started to force her to do according to their wishes. She had to work from day to night even when she was pregnant.

In that village, women did not worth a penny. They didn't have the right to do anything and same goes to Zana and Nadia's lifes. Even when their lifes were in grave danger, they were not allow to visit any doctors. They were struggling to escape from that place and they were getting help from their mother and also the press. Finally, Zana managed to escape and returned to her own country but Nadia was left to suffer again....Zana will find a way to help her sister but it will be written on the other book...anyway...you should read this book...it's very very good!!
