I was shocked by Marina's mother's comment that she forgave her. How could a mother be so out of touch with her daughter's life. I was also shocked that a young girl or woman could be married temporarily. Just long enough to be raped. How do these men live with themselves. I would like to enter the draw for either book but preferably the 2nd one After Tehran.

I was deeply moved with your interview with MARINA NEIMAT. The life she lived and the horrors she experienced while at Evin Prison in Tehran and the lack of support by her family were stunning. I was most struck by the comment from her father by her mother after her funeral that the mother forgave Marina after all that Marina experienced. Marina said that her family was dysfunctional and her description of the vulnerability of the emotional state of the victim were very disturbing. I was also struck by her comment that the Iranian government is its citizens worst enemy and her comment about the amount of torture of persons in Iran. We in Canada can only try to support Marina for being so brave. Her books sound interesting. K1N 5N5
