(MAYADA DAUGHTER OF IRAQ) A true story about the granddaughter of two of Iraq's most famous and respected leaders.
A member of one of the most distinguished and honored families in Iraq, Mayada grew up surrounded by wealth and royalty. But when Saddam Hussein's regime took power, she was thrown into cell 52 in the infamous Baladiyat prison with seventeen other nameless, faceless women from all walks of life. Now, through Jean Sasson, Mayada is finally able to tell her story-and theirs-to the world.
История Майады аль-Аскари - это история тысяч иракских семей, пострадавших от насилия и жестокости режима Хусейна. Попавшие в застенок женщины, принадлежащие к разным социальным слоям, объединены общим страхом. Они, словно Шехерезады, день за днем рассказывают истории своей жизни.
