SynopsisSoraya M.'s husband, Ghorban-Ali, couldn't afford to marryanotherwoman. Rather than returning Soraya's dowry, as custom required beforetaking asecond wife, he plotted with four friends and a counterfeit mullah todispose ofher. Together, they accused Soraya of adultery. Her only crime was cookingfor afriend's widowed husband. Exhausted by a lifetime of abuse and hardship,Sorayasaid nothing, and the makeshift tribunal took her silence as a confessionofguilt. They sentenced her to death by stoning: a punishment prohibited byIslambut widely practiced. Day by day+sometimes minute by minute+Sahebjamdeftlyrecounts these horrendous events, tracing Soraya's life with searingimmediacy,from her arranged marriage and the births of her nine children to herhusband'sincreasing cruelty and her horrifying execution, where, by tradition, herfather, husband, and sons hurled the first stones. This is one woman's story, but it stands for the stories of thousandsofwomen who suffered+and continue to suffer+the same fate. It is a storythat mustbe told.

Amazing book with very heavy content.
I had seen the movie twice. There were a number of differences. Once past those issues the book was a true eye opener. I cried realizing such a disgusting thing can actually happen. It only took me one day to read the book. Once I started reading I could not put it down. I will read this book again and will highly recommend it to others. It is important to remember that THIS IS A TRUE STORY. A book that would be a great recommendation for a book club to read. The discussions after reading could go on for hours. I am glad every day that I live in a free country. I cannot imagine living under the circumstances this beautiful young woman had to live under. The bravery of the Aunt and the author is commendable. Both took huge risks to get the message out. The author has written a book that I hope he is truly proud of. I am glad I read this book and encourage others to read it as well.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
