So heart wrenching it was hard to read every word at times. As other reviewers before me wrote, "I am glad to live in the USA"! Jean Sasson is very meticulous in her research and ultimately in her writings. So much detail, with strong descriptions. I felt like I was in the cell with Mayada. I read a series by Jean Sasson before reading this book, and was not disappointed in "Mayada". It is always good to read about other cultures, and what people do to just survive.
