Jean SassonLove In A Torn Land: One Woman's Daring Escape from Saddam's Poison Gas Attacks on the Kurdish People of Iraq

I couldn't put down this book before turning the last page. Worth read for anyone who wants to have a glance of women's life in a war torn country.

A dream of young girl, to become a worriers wife , the love that she fall and failed and finally she drove thought it and got married to the same man who she was in love, and travelling in the land between blast shelling and bombs, living between snakes and scorpions, are described so vivid, hats off for jean sasson, it worth reading to know the pain and gain that a simple middle class born female went through to make her dream come true.

Well packaged, great book!

A heart touching story.

its great.....!!! i love it

Loved it. A mesmerising read.

Joanna only played a victim. At the end whole of the family & their Kurdish Friends & Fighters - all well settled in England, Australia, Switzerland,Austria or other places. Left the book only reading few pages with interest. I will never recommend anyone to read it...

Good book.

Good read

arrived on time

I couldn't put down Joanna's story, relishing getting to know her family and culture. This was a strong family that found strength and joy in tumultuous and deadly times. I have read several of Jean Sasson's books and, though they were all great, this one wasn't depressing like the Princess series and Mayada. It's a beautiful story and Joanna is an eternal optimist.

True story that will open your eyes and help you understand what was going on under Sadam's rules.

All of Jean Sasson books are a great read.
