I didn't read the book but I saw the movie and I feel like I needed to make it known how powerful this story is. If you're not going to read the book, at least see this movie.

Soraya's "husband" if you can even call him one, is plotting against her all because he feels like she doesn't act like a wife should. He decides that he wants to marry a fourteen year girl instead and divorce her, because she's not acting the way he thinks she should.

I don't like giving to much infortmation away, so I'm going to stop there. But trust me, this movie is completely moving and powerful on so many levels.

"Stoning" is the most disgusting form of torture that I have ever seen & it made me want to throw up, watching that take place. All because a man didn't get what he wanted, so he plotted against his wife. This just goes to show you how men in that country seem to think. It makes me sick.
