Quatrième de couverture
Mayada Al-Askari was born into a powerful Iraqi family. When Saddam Hussein and his Ba'ath party seized power, Mayada little imagined the devastation that it would wreak upon her life. But soon she found herself alone in Baghdad, a divorced mother of two, earning a meagre living printing brochures - until the morning in 1999 when she was arrested by Saddam's secret police and dragged to the notorious Baladiyat Prison, accused of producing anti-government propaganda.
There she was thrown into a cell already housing seventeen other 'shadow women'. These women came from different backgrounds, but all shared the same fate: imprisonment and torture without trial, and the threat of execution. To block out the screams of other prisoners, like latter-day Scheherazades the shadow women told each other their stories. Mayada's tales of her privileged former life were a source of particular fascination, including her own encounters with Saddam himself.
Biographie de l'auteur
Jean Sasson grew up in a small town in America's deep south before moving to the Middle East in 1978 to work at a prestigious royal hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. In 1985, she met Princess Sultana, who inspired the widely acclaimed Princess Trilogy. Jean later worked as freelance writer in Lebanon and Kuwait, conducting interviews with Kuwaitis who survived the first Gulf war, as well as high ranking Kuwaiti officials before, during and after the War. Her affection for the Middle East has been the motivation for a number of her books and Jean has spent her career sharing the personal stories of many courageous women. Princess More Tears to Cry is Jean's 12th book and the fourth in the Princess series.

Jean Sasson Met Mayada Al-Askari On A Trip To Baghdad In 1998. One Year Later, Jean Learned That Mayada Had Been Taken Without The Knowledge Of Her Family From The Tiny Print Shop That She Owned, And Imprisoned In The Notorious Baladiyat Prisonaheadquarters Of Saddam Husseinas Infamous Secret Police. Mayadaas Story Both Past And Present Is Truly Incredible. Her Family Was One Of The Most Distinguished And Honored Families In Iraq. One Grandfather Fought Alongside Lawrence Of Arabia. The Other Was The First True Arab Nationalist (Admired Greatly By Saddam Hussein). Her Uncle Was Prime Minister Of Iraq For Nearly Forty Years; Her Mother, An Important Government Official. From Personal Meetings With Saddam Hussein And Chemical Ali To Raising Two Small Children As A Single Mother, Mayadaas Life Was At Once Privileged, Yet Carefully Balanced. But Life Can Shift Quickly In Iraq And Mayada Finds Herself Thrown Into A Small Cell With Seventeen Other Women. The Shadow Women. The Women Rally Around Each Other To Share Their Unbelievable Stories And In So Doing Gain The Strength To Survive. The Names Of The Shadow Women Are Scrawled In Charcoal Onto The Cell Wall In The Hopes That One Day One Of Them Will Make It Out To Tell Others Of Their Existence. This Is Mayadaas Courageous Story, But Also That Of Her Sisters. N° de réf. du vendeur 001472
