Mayada (Spanish Edition)

Jean Sasson first met Mayada in 1998. She traveled to Baghdad and Mayada was her official interpreter.They soon became friends and Mayada started to tell her the atrocities of Saddam Hussein. Mayada decided that she wanted to expose her story to the whole world and denounce the brutality of life in Iraq under Saddam Hussein. She asked Jean to write the experiences. Mayada lived several months in a cell, along with 17 other women, that she calls shadow-women. Most of them were totally innocent. They were tortured again and again until they confessed to everything they were charged with. Some of them died without hope of ever being free. The ones that survived were kept alive by their friendship, and the stories Mayada told them to make their pain and misery more bearable. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Excelente relato, interesante historia, personajes increiblemente fuertes y sentimentales... Te permite entender un poco lo que ha vivido Irak... ser un poco mas compasivos... Me encantaaa!!!!

I bought several books from you last month and enjoyed all of them. However, this book Mayada, was in a different language. It was not in ENGLISH!!!!!! I can't begin to attempt to read it. I did not send it back because it is too much bother wrapping and running to the post office. I think it was only $10 anyway. If by a chance you do have it in English and would like to send it to me without charge; I would like to to read it. Thank you, Judy DeConinck

i didnt see the comment that this book was in spanish.. can't read it so only a one star... oh well.
