### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Fascinating!
  

*by K***C on Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2017*

This is the incredible story of one woman's incarceration in prison in Iran for no reason whatsoever. Even though she had an Austrian mother and an American passport, Haleh Esfandiari was arrested, detained and ultimately imprisoned simply because she worked for an organization that promoted better understanding and relations between Iran and the United States. For months she lived in solitary confinement and was subjected to relentless interrogation by officials who were determined to establish proof of a plot to overthrow the Iranian government. This is a fascinating look at how the Iranian government and Intelligence service keeps their citizens in line through fear and intimidation, how the ultra-conservative clergy maintain power by suppressing freedom, and how the United States government has squandered countless opportunities to improve relations between the two countries. This is a must-read for anyone who wants a better understanding of Iranian culture and the policies that continue to prevent peace.

    What we need to know about an Iranian who loved her country touches me in the way loving my own country does.
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2017*

This is a difficult reading from my point of view because it pulls me in several ways at once. My compassion for those under political arrest, or held against their will for political reasons, and my anger that so many suffer silently and are not in the eye of media and cannot be helped.However I learned a lot from reading this story of strength and fortitude.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Beautifully written!
  

*by S***F on Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2017*

I have always enjoyed true stories, but so often they're not written well, especially when it's a memoir. That wasn't the case here. From the moment her car was ambushed to her arrest and eventual release, I felt like I was right there with her.I chose this book partly because the story appealed to me but mostly because of the setting, Iran. My late-grandfather worked for the airlines and was always being sent to different places around the world. My mother even graduated high school in Kenya! But, like this author, my late-grandmother worked for a newspaper in Tehran though as a proofreader. They and my 2 uncles and aunt were evacuated when Ayatollah Khomeini returned.
