This Holiday Reading Edition of 'Somayyeh' is complete and unabridged but it adopts a smaller book size and slightly finer print to make it ideal for reading on a beach, on a boat, on an airplane, or anywhere else in vacation mode. 'Somayyeh' is the story of of a beautiful and determined young woman whose quest for love, freedom and happiness pits her against religion-based doctrines of male superiority and an uncompromisingly misogynistic culture. Born into a wealthy family in the Iranian city of Shiraz in 1972, Somayyeh grows to womanhood as revolution brings a fundamentalist Islamic regime to power and a futile war with neighbouring Iraq rages for eight bloody years. When her marriage is destroyed by her husband's reckless infidelity, Somayyeh struggles to come to grips with the harsh unforeseen consequences of divorce and its effects on her relationship with her only child. But her divorce turns out to be a gateway to a new life. Somayyeh's tale not only inspires but it also provides precious insights into the position of women and the impact of Sharia law in today's Iran.
