Author : Miriam Ali and Jana Wain ISBN No. : 9780751516357 Miriam Ali’s nightmare began on the day in 1980 when she learnt that her two teenage daughters had been sold to ‘husbands’ in Yemen by their father, and would not not be coming home to Birmingham. But it was also the turning point. After too many years of submission, when she had been used as little more than a baby-machine and had suffered two nervous breakdowns, Miriam finally mustered the courage to begin a campaign to rescue Zana and Nadia from the misery and squalor in which they were forced to live. Without Mercy is the astonishing true story of that struggle. *An essential companion to Zana’s own story. Sold, Miriam’s account shows all the beauty and ferocity of a mother’s instinct in a searing and anguished battle against an abusive man, an outmoded tradition and an ineffective, indifferent bureaucracy.

Author : Zana Muhsen and Andrew Crofts ISBN No. : 9780751530551 Ten years ago, Zana Muhsen escaped from her life of slavery in the Yemen into which her father had sold her as a child bride, leaving behind her baby son, her sister Nadia. And Nadia’s two small children. She recounted her harrowing story in SOLD, an instant international bestseller. Zana made a promise to Nadia not to rest until her sister and the children had also obtained their freedom. But her hopes soon turned into a new nightmare, one where international interest led to the attraction of sharks and con men. The fighting fund created by her book disappeared, but Zana refused to give up her struggle for Nadia and the children. A promise to Nadia is the answer to the many thousands of letters which Zana has received from readers of SOLD who, unbearably moved by her tale of courage and determination, have all been asking what happened next.

Author : Zana Muhsen and Andrew Crofts ISBN No. : 0751509515 For fifteen-year-old Zana Muhsen and her younger sister Nadia, born and raised in Birmingham, a six-week holiday with relatives in North Yemen sounded like the trip of a lifetime. It turned into a living nightmare. On their arrival Zana and her sister discovered that their father had literally sold them into marriage and that they were helpless prisoners. The girls had to adapt to a completely alien way of life, living in primitive stone houses with dung-plastered walls and no running water. They suffered rape, frequent beatings and the terrifying ordeal of childbirth on bare mud floors with only old women attendance. After eight years of misery and humiliation, Zana escaped! *I bought it in KLIA airport on March, 23rd 2003. The title attracted me..
