Even knowing there is a lot of controversy over whether this is a true story or not, due to this author bringing the "all too true" plight of oppressed Muslim women to our attention I give it 5 stars. That being said,I find it highly unlikely that anyone being burned over 90% of the body and receiving inadequate medical attention would of survived. maybe that part was exaggerated somewhat for the book (and could I blame her for that..what a horrible outrage) the rest of her story I do find believable, especially after reading more than one book on this subject, it all rings true for me.
I found this to be a disturbing account of what can happen to a woman who "breaks the law" in a country where women have no rights.
