Description
Naziran tells of surviving an acid attack in Pakistan. She was 20 when someone attacked her as she slept. The acid left her blind and scarred her face. Her account also traces the abuse that came before it. Her father forced her to marry at 13. Her husband beat her because she had no sons. After his death, she had to marry his older brother. A relative took one of her children to raise.
This memoir addresses readers interested in women's lives and domestic abuse. It follows Naziran's fight for custody of her daughters. She tells her story to oppose acid attacks and seek justice. The book credits Naziran and Célia Mercier, a journalist who covers Pakistan. Nicolae Constantinescu translated this Romanian edition.
