Description

From Library Journal Betty Lover met the perfect "dark stranger" in a Michigan hospital. Her Iranian therapist, Dr. Sayyed Bozorg Mahmoody, became her husband and the father of their daughter, Mahtob. Despite the vicissitudes of the Iran-U.S. hostage crisis, Betty and he flourished until their summer "vacation" in Iran in 1984. The next year and a half were a nightmare. Betty and Mahtob, held hostage by Mahmoody and his family, were subjected to Islamic fundamentalism, Persian nationalistic fanaticism, and a life of squalor. This compelling tale of their terror and escape from Iran is recommended for most libraries. Literary Guild alternate. David P. Snider, Casa Grande P.L., Ariz .Copyright 1987 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Eye Opening

This was quite an old used book but was ok to read for book club, now I’ll pass it on.
The story is not one I’d have chosen on my own, but I plowed forward with dread until I was too involved to stop. I had to find out what happened! I’m glad I did. It was an eye opening read. I learned a lot about a place that was very foreign to me.
God bless America!
